On October 8, 2025, the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers, AFL-CIO filed suit in U.S. District Court in the District of District of Columbia against the Trump administration. In their complaint, plaintiffs challenges President Trump’s Executive Order No. 14343, “Further Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Programs.” EO 14343 is a follow-up to earlier Executive Order 14251, which stripped collective bargaining rights from civilian employees in over 16 federal agencies on the grounds that, allegedly, such agencies have “national security” as their primary function. EO 14343 removes an additional six agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), from coverage by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, despite the fact that NASA does not have national security as its primary function and despite the fact that NASA has been collectively bargaining with federal employee unions for decades.
This case is ongoing.
