Does anyone know if the IRS appealed the telework arbitration decision? I think yesterday was the last day.

So you know those 35 former Federal Judges that gave Trump an amicus bench slap in his IRS case? Do we think there is any chance they would do us a solid and draft up a brief on why federal employees have the right to collectively bargain? The administration that shall not be named will surely appeal the issue all the way up to SCOTUS. If they grant cert, we need briefs.

Does anyone know what is happening at the VA after the First Circuit denied the VA’s motion to stay the preliminary injunction requiring them to restore the union contract? Is VA complying? Are VA employees getting all the benefits of their contract?

I really hope that there is a ruling soon and that NTEU wins. If so, I hope the ruling is not stayed pending appeal and the court makes clear that all provisions of the contract should be put back into effect. The First Circuit had language like that in the VA case. At that point, if telework isn’t increased or renegotiated, NTEU should go back to the court and ask for a hearing.
