Court Allows Union-Busting Campaign to Resume | JQJO

A federal appeals court temporarily halted a lower court's injunction blocking the Trump administration's attempt to curtail federal employee union rights. Two Republican-appointed judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the injunction, allowing the administration to resume its actions while the case proceeds. They argued the union hadn't proven irreparable harm, while a dissenting judge countered that the administration's claims of irreparable harm were inconsistent and lacked merit. The stay permits the administration to proceed with its union-busting campaign, despite a prior ruling that the executive order was a pretext for retaliation against unions.
