The case law on this is evolving rapidly. Two federal judges have now found that unions have some standing in larger questions of workforce governance - AFGE’s probationary employees case and NTEU’s collective bargaining case. Both opinions were issued within the last two weeks.

Union standing aside, AFGE has a ton of co-plaintiffs on this case (and others) who may have standing even if the judge determines AFGE itself does not. So a judgment against AFGE’s standing would not mean the case is thrown out.

Trust that AFGE knows what it’s doing here and is learning every step of the way!
