American Foreign Service Association v. Trump (FS appeal 2025)
Overview
Overview
The government appealed Judge Friedman's order granted a preliminary injunction which blocks the Trump administration from implementing the executive order rescinding collective bargaining agreements.
The Issue
Issue
May the President unilaterally rescind collective bargaining agreements covering federal employees, or are such agreements protected by statute and the Administrative Procedure Act?
The Rules
Rule
Federal employees possess statutory rights to collective bargaining; executive action affecting those rights must comply with applicable statutory constraints and cannot unilaterally override negotiated agreements without legal authority.
The Application
Analysis
The district court found the government unlikely to succeed on the merits of its rescission order, satisfying the preliminary injunction standard and blocking implementation of the executive action pending appeal.
The Conclusion
Conclusion
The preliminary injunction remains in effect; the government's appeal is pending before the CADC.
