The 9th Circuit for the U.S. Court of Appeals granted the government's motion to pause a preliminary injunction on President Trump's executive order excluding most federal workers from collective bargaining agreements.
Trump’s order was issued March 27 and a lawsuit was filed in response by the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 800,000 workers in most agencies in the federal government. The injunction was enacted on June 24.

“This ruling is certainly a setback for fundamental rights in America,” said AFGE National President Everett Kelley. “While we assess this order’s impact and our next steps in these preliminary injunction proceedings, we remain fully committed to fighting this case on the merits and are confident in our ability to ultimately prevail."
The suit is yet to be decided.
