The Trump administration scored a legal win when a federal appeals court overturned a lower court ruling that had blocked an executive order affecting union rights for federal workers.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a preliminary injunction that had stopped the implementation of the executive order, which would limit collective bargaining rights for approximately 800,000 federal employees across the nation.
Among those affected by the court’s decision are workers employed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, which oversees food safety regulations and inspections nationwide.
