Update on IFPTE Legal Action on Union Rights

IFPTE is considering litigation against the administration and the Executive Order (EO) which categorized NASA as a national security agency and abrogated GESTA’s and other NASA employee unions' bargaining rights. A prior lawsuit was filed in July by IFPTE and other federal labor unions that included agencies impacted earlier by this EO. There was a October 1st ruling on this prior lawsuit that provided a preliminary injunction in that case, restoring those union’s bargaining rights.
