Brief of diving:
- A construction union group filed a lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Columbia District Wednesday against two federal agencies and their heads for ignoring an executive order still in effects From former President Joe Biden who requires job agreements in some federal jobs.
- The unions in the building of North America asked the court to join the Department of Defense and the administration of general services to use the use of the plan, since the order of Biden’s time is maintained in the books.
- Since President Donald Trump took office, he has promulgated a large number of executive orders, undoing many policies of Biden’s time and, in January, a judge. gratefully weakened the case For the federal government to use plas, but Nabtu argues that the original order is still in effect.
Divide vision:
A February 7 warning of DOD ordered the contracting officers Stop the use of large -scale construction plan Projects. Then, on February 12, the GSA issued an internal note calling for a “class exemption” from the Biden plan requirement.
Both the GSA and the DOD said in the immersion of the construction that they do not comment on ongoing litigation.
Nabtu argues that these exemptions could not exist while the executive order is maintained and that these policies harm members of the organization who benefit from Plas. In addition to the agencies, the lawsuit names DOD’s secretary, Pete Hegseth and GSA’s acting administrator, Stephen Ehikian, as defendants.
Trump has not repealed Executive Order 14063, the only thing Biden required, despite taking steps to discourage the use of them and other collective bargaining agreements. In fact, a Trump order from March 14 Objectives Plas in his orientation for federal decisionBut it does not revoke one’s own rule.
In December 2023, the Biden administration announced the implementation of a Executive order that requires plas in federal construction Jobs of $ 35 million or more. The movement, by the self-proclaimed most pro-labor president in history, was decreed by the groups of businessmen and faced demands that seek their repeal.
In January 2025, a U.S. federal claim judge found the implementation of the term in seven contractual procedures in 2024, ignored the investigation of the federal agencies indicated Plas would be anti-complaining And it was based on the “arbitrary and whimsical” presidential policy.
Although this case provided the means to other entrepreneurs to present similar movements, it was only applied to the seven contracts involved in the original complaint.
The associated builders and contractors, who originally had sued the Biden administration to try to eliminate Executive Order 14063, published a statement on Thursday. Deciphering Nabtu’s dress.
“ABC supports the United States National Security Trump Trump Trump Projects for these rules,” said Kristen Swearingen, Vice President of Government Affairs. “We urge the administration to take a step further and fully terminate the executive order of former President Biden 14063 that implements mandates of the plan.”
Swearingen said that the elimination of the executive order would eliminate the basis of Nabtu’s case.
