NTEU Tells D.C. Circuit to Keep Collective Bargaining Rights Intact

NTEU is pushing agencies to comply with an April 25 district court order. That order stopped—that is, it preliminarily enjoined—the President’s Executive Order stripping collective bargaining rights from tens of thousands of NTEU members.

At the same time, the government is asking a higher court, the D.C. Circuit, to stop implementation of the district court’s order. The government wants the harmful Executive Order to continue in effect until the government's appeal of the preliminary injunction is resolved, which will take several months.

Yesterday, NTEU filed a brief with the D.C. Circuit opposing the government's request. The government will file a reply to NTEU's brief tomorrow, and then the D.C. Circuit will issue a decision. We will keep you posted on further developments.
