American Federation of Government Employees (AFL-CIO) v. President Trump

No. 1:25-cv-00264 District · Active Active

Case Overview

The American Federation of Government Employees and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, represented by Democracy Forward, sued President Trump and the Office of Personnel Management, over his attempt to repeal a regulation that protects civil servants.


The Application

History

Schedule F purports to reclassify civil servants to permit easier removal, but the unions argue this violates the APA by bypassing required rulemaking procedures and exceeds executive authority over protections established by the Civil Service Reform Act.

The Conclusion

The case is active in D.C. District Court before Judge Jia M. Cobb, with plaintiffs seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Schedule F's implementation and preserve existing civil service protections.
