EPA union sues management over contract termination (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A union representing workers at the Environmental Protection Agency became the latest labor group to sue agency leadership over the 2025 cancellation of its collective bargaining agreement, alleging that EPA violated both its members’ First Amendment Rights and a law requiring the federal government conduct reasoned decision-making.
