Government union bosses have been seething ever since Trump issued executive orders limiting their power in the federal workplace.
On Tuesday, more than a year after President Trump issued three executive orders to curb government union power and save taxpayer money, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed a lower court's ruling last year striking the executive orders down.
In Tuesday's ruling, a three-judge panel ruled unanimously that the lower court lacked jurisdiction over the matter, reported the Washington Post, as "Unions must first pursue such claims through an administrative process before seeking review by the appeals court."
Now, the issue should go before the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which is, as the Post reports, "a small agency governed by a three-member board of Trump appointees charged with adjudicating federal labor disputes."
The unions may appeal the Tuesday's ruling on jurisdiction to the Supreme Court first.
"Today's terrible decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is a tremendous blow to federal employees and their voice in the workplace," stated American Federation of Government Employees National President J. David Cox Sr. "The decision is mistaken about the jurisdictional question, wrong on the law, and jeopardizes the rights of federal employees across the government," Cox continued, "We will fight this decision using every legal tool available to us."
If the unions do appeal the DC Court's ruling to the Supreme Court it is highly possible they will not fare any better than going through the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
