U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who sits on the federal district court in Washington, D.C., said in a 16-page decision that he had to deny the unions’ request for relief from Trump’s firings because he lacks jurisdiction over the claims.
The judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, said the unions must pursue their legal challenges through the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, which governs labor relations in the federal workforce.
The claims, he said, must be filed with the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
Cooper wrote that the first month of Mr. Trump’s administration “has been defined by an onslaught of executive actions that have caused, some say by design, disruption and even chaos in widespread quarters of American society.”
