IBEW Sues Trump Administration Over Anti-Union Executive Orders
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its executive orders aimed at stripping collective bargaining rights from federal employees.
The lawsuit argues 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 the one that covers most 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 claims that its bargaining units at the Energy and Interior departments are expressly protected by law, and therefore, the executive orders do not apply to them.
