In a win for unions, U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman of the District of Columbia said an executive order issued in March by President Donald Trump stripping union rights from hundreds of thousands of federal employees was “unlawful.

A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the administration of President Donald Trump from stripping hundreds of thousands of federal employees of the ability to unionize and collectively bargain over working conditions.

The judge suggested during a hearing Wednesday that the administration's moves appear targeted toward unions that have opposed his agenda.
