Two top Federal Worker Unions - the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), are vowing to fight on for their Collective Bargaining Agreements and rights despite a pro-Trump Federal Appeals Court ruling tossing most of those contracts out. But AFGE, led by President Everett Kelley, and NTEU, headed by President Doreen Greenwald, still are hashing out what their next legal moves will be. The need for further struggles occurs after a three-Judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco overturned a prior Lower-Court Pro-Union ruling. That means the Unions and Workers now have no protections against mass firings - or against pressure from corporate special interests, acting through dark money and campaign contributions - to get Trump-supporting top officials to order Workers to disobey the law, or else. That Pro-Union decision by Judge James Donato also produced an injunction banning Trump from dumping 21 Union contracts. That injunction is now gone, too. A Federal Court in Washington, D.C. is weighing the fate of 16 other contracts. The fate of all Union contracts covering Federal Workers is important not just to them, but to everyone in the U.S. Without protections of a contract, the Federal Workers can be fired, regardless of what the law covering them or the law they enforce says.
