The American Federation of Government Employees represents 800,000 federal workers. …

The judge was appointed by Trump, for what it's worth.
Bread crumb victory by lousy federal unions.
More than 275,000 United States federal civil service layoffs have been announced by the second Trump administration.[1][2] As of June 26, 2025, CNN has tracked at least 128,709 workers laid off or targeted for layoffs.[3] As of 3 June 2025, The New York Times tracked more than 58,500 confirmed cuts, more than 76,000 employee buyouts, and more than 149,000 other planned reductions; cuts total 12% of the 2.4 million civilian federal workers.[4] In limited cases, the administration has rescinded layoff notifications.[5]

Worth nothing!
This isn’t a victory to celebrate because the unions are impotent. What’s the point of having them if they have no power. Telework in the contract? Gone. Reassignments? Couldn’t stop it. TSC details? Can’t stop them. Losing flex bands? Worthless. I quit the union this year because what’s the point.
Preach!
