For those of you expecting to hear about the Russian lawsuit from a guy clearing apple made him turn gay. That's for later today. President Trump issued new orders last year to reform federal unions, which have a lot of power over how governments run. He limited the grievance unions could file, streamline collective bargaining negotiations, and reduced the hours that union members could spend doing union work instead of
their real jobs. So the unions were furious. They claimed that Trump's executive orders wiped out their collective bargaining rights. They got a sympathetic federal judge to issue an injunction. From there, the case went to a three judge panel on the d C Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in favor of President Trump. The unions asked for a rehearing by the full court, which they got at last Wednesday. The full DC Court of Appeals sided with President Trump.
This is the first time ever that government unions have had their power curtailed. The effect was immediate it in real life. The day after the unions lost in court, the American Federation of Government Employees settled their contract dispute with the Social Security administration. They saw the writing on the wall that contract was the best they were going
to get before Trump's reforms kick in. Now, this is not going to generate headlines in a drive by media, but it is a big deal inside the belt Way, so big that I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats added it to their phony impeachment claims against President Trump.
