IBEW Challenges Trump's Anti-Union Executive Orders
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that its executive orders targeting collective bargaining rights violate the law.
The lawsuit claims that the collective bargaining rights of prevailing rate employees at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Southwestern Power Agency, and the Western Area Power Administration are protected by a different law than other federal employees.
President Trump signed a pair of executive orders citing a seldom-utilized provision of the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act to declare wide swathes of the federal government as primarily engaged in national security work and banning most unions there.
- The IBEW argues that its bargaining units at the Energy and Interior departments are expressly protected by law.
- The executive orders aim to strip two-thirds of the federal workforce of their collective bargaining rights.
Author's summary: IBEW sues Trump administration over anti-union executive orders.
