Audit finding
contradicted

For the affected federal workforce, the order directly removed collective-bargaining coverage and therefore conflicts with the broad promise to protect American workers. The current appellate ruling vacated a preliminary injunction after finding the unions had not shown likely success on their retaliation claim; it was not a final merits judgment on every challenge to the order.
