Did Trump admin not already filed lawsuit in Texas? So are we going to have circuit splits? Granted if Walker and Henderson get it, they might side with admin as well.

Should end up in DC.

The Statute NTEU [The Union] rests on Congress’s explicit finding that “the statutory protection of the right of employees to organize, bargain collectively, and participate through labor organizations of their own choosing in decisions which affect them . . . safeguards the public interest.” 5 U.S.C. § 7101(a)(1).

Trump relies on the fact that Congress specifically excluded some agencies or offices within agencies from the Statute, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 5 U.S.C. § 7103(a)(3).

Here the attack by the Executive Order far exceeds the exemption granted to the Executive. The wholesale targeting includes employees of Department of health and Human Services, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and more than a dozen others. The ultimate goal of the president is to make it easier for Executive to fire career federal employees.

I'm thinking nationwide strike. Everyone (except first repsponders/medical folks) just flat out refuse to go to work.
