A federal appeals court on Friday had approved Mr. Trump’s order instructing agencies to end collective bargaining agreements — part of a sweeping effort to assert more control over the federal work force.

But the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which allowed the order to proceed, did so in part because the Trump administration had directed agencies not to move ahead with the plan until the court battle was resolved. Because of that instruction, the judges wrote, there was a lower risk of harm to the unions and their members.

Thats some bullshit circular logic…

If that’s the precedent then he can do anything as long as he says he’d wait for the ruling
