✊ Federal Judge Blocks Trump Admin Attempt to Dissolve TSA Union

In a major legal victory for AFGE, a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from eliminating collective bargaining rights at TSA, calling the move a retaliatory attack on the union’s First Amendment rights.

The judge found Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s order to ban TSA unions was not only unjustified but appeared to punish AFGE for pushing back against Trump’s anti-worker policies.

Key points:

• The court ruled that the administration’s justification was “threadbare” and exposed clear animus toward AFGE.
• TSA must reinstate the union contract, resume grievance procedures, and continue dues collection.
• The decision also rebukes broader efforts to strip bargaining rights from two-thirds of federal employees, citing constitutional concerns.

“We will not back down from defending our members’ rights against unlawful union busting,” said AFGE National President Everett Kelley.
