A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s order stripping foreign service workers of their collective bargaining rights, granting a labor group a request for a preliminary injunction.

At issue is a March 27 executive order issued by Trump that barred foreign service officials and other federal agency workers from exercising organized labor protections. A fact sheet released by the White House said that “certain Federal unions have declared war on President Trump’s agenda.”
