A federal judge on June 2 temporarily blocked the Department of Homeland Security from ending collective bargaining for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents, concluding the government likely acted improperly as retaliation against a union for challenging Trump administration moves.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) “has demonstrated a strong likelihood that the Noem Determination constitutes impermissible retaliation against it for its unwillingness to acquiesce to the Trump Administration’s assault on federal workers,” U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman said in a 41-page filing.
