Case Summary

This case challenges the forced dismantling of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) and the resulting disruption to labor relations across the United States. Plaintiffs, a coalition of major labor unions—the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, United Federation of Teachers, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), SEIU Healthcare Minnesota & Iowa, SEIU Committee of Interns and Residents, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, UFCW Local 135, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, IAM District 160, American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals, American Federal of Government Employees, and American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations—filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs brought the case against the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), the United States of America, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and OMB's Director. The plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief, claiming violations of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the U.S. Constitution’s separation of powers, and federal statutes governing FMCS.

The case was assigned to Judge Arun Subramanian.

On March 14, 2025, Donald Trump issued Executive Order No. 14238, titled “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy.” The executive order required the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), an organization created by Congress to mediate labor disputes and minimize disruptions to commerce, to reduce its functions and personnel to the “minimum presence required by law,” triggering a dramatic downsizing. FMCS had proposed retaining 80 to 100 mediators as necessary to fulfill its statutory obligations, but OMB and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) instead ordered a reduction to only five mediators and a skeletal staff, effectively crippling the agency.

The plaintiffs, a diverse group of national and local unions representing millions of workers in education, healthcare, public service, and manufacturing, alleged immediate and widespread harm from the agency’s dismemberment. FMCS had been facilitating thousands of labor negotiations, arbitrations, and impasse resolutions annually. After the cuts, scheduled mediation sessions were abruptly canceled, leaving unions and employers without the support needed to resolve disputes, pushing them closer to strikes or lockouts. Several unions described how FMCS mediators had already made tangible progress in resolving disputes, only to be removed without explanation.

Plaintiffs filed their complaint on April 14, 2025, asserting the President’s executive order and the agencies’ actions were contrary to law, in excess of statutory authority, and violated core constitutional principles. They argued that the EO violated the Separation of Powers because only Congress has the power to create, modify, or dismantle federal agencies and allocate funding. Since Congress had recently appropriated FMCS’s full budget for fiscal year 2025, the plaintiffs contended that the executive branch could not lawfully interfere with the agency’s operations. They also challenged the administration’s arbitrary criteria—such as limiting FMCS services only to disputes involving units of 1,000 or more employees—as contrary to congressional intent and unsupported by statute in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. Finally, they asserted an Ultra Vires action and claimed there was no statutory, constitutional, or legal authority for the Defendants to dismantle FMCS in violation of the Labor Management Relations Act.

The complaint requested the court declare the executive actions unlawful and issue an injunction preventing the dismantling of FMCS and the enforcement of related personnel reductions. It also sought to compel the agency to resume its statutory duties and to award attorney’s fees and costs.

On April 16, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. They asked the judge to order the defendants to restore the status quo ante by: (1) prohibiting the implementation of EO 14238, (2) returning FMCS employees to their status prior to March 14, 2025, (3) resuming all active FMCS cases and mediation services, and (4) rescinding guidance, rules, or directives to FMCS to only mediate services to bargaining units of 1,000 or more members.

On May 2, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding two additional parties, UFCW Local 2013 and AFSCME Council 31. On May 14, in light of developments in the District of Rhode Island – where the court granted a PI affording the relief sought by plaintiffs in this case – the court ordered plaintiffs to advise them by May 16 whether there was any reason it should not deny their pending motion for a PI as moot. On May 19, following plaintiffs' response, the court denied the motion as moot.

On June 13, plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment. Three days later, they filed a second amended complaint adding two additional plaintiffs, the National Education Association (NEA) and the Ohio Education Association (OEA).

On July 3, the government filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. After rescheduling the hearing several times, the court heard arguments regarding the summary judgment and dismissal motions.

Judge Subramanian issued his opinion on December 30, 2025, granting plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and dismissing defendants' motion to dismiss. After finding that the policy to limit mediation services was a final agency action and was thus subject to the APA, the court concluded that there was no genuine issue of material fact and that the defendants had violated the APA. The court cited the fact that the policy contained "no explanation whatsoever" for how the fixed numerical floors were determined for the size of bargaining units whose negotiations the defendants were willing to mediate. Consequently, the court vacated defendants' policy "disallowing the assignment of FMCS mediators to negotiations and disputes in the healthcare industry where the bargaining units are smaller than 250 employees, or in other industries where the bargaining units are smaller than 1,000 employees." 2025 WL 3763813.
