A coalition of two Commerce Department unions brings this action against President Trump and relevant federal officials, challenging Executive Order 14343. Plaintiffs allege that the Executive Order unlawfully strips federal employees of their collective bargaining rights in violation of the Civil Service Reform Act and the First Amendment’s protections for freedom of association. They contend that the Executive Order exceeds presidential authority and was issued in bad faith to dismantle lawful union representation within the civil service. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief restoring their collective bargaining rights and invalidating the Executive Order in its entirety.
