NTEU Legal Roundup — Week of April 7-11, 2025
 
We know you want to remain informed about NTEU-related litigation challenging the administration's attacks on federal employees and the fight NTEU is bringing to defend our members from these attacks.
 
Starting this week, we will send weekly (Monday) emails summarizing major case updates from the previous week. We will continue to send case-specific employee messages as appropriate. Stay strong and let's support one another as we battle for the future of the federal workforce!
