A federal judge denied a bid by labor unions to block the Trump administration from proceeding with mass layoffs at federal agencies. U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper ruled that the case should be handled by the Federal Labor Relations Authority rather than federal court. The lawsuit, led by the National Treasury Employees Union, sought to halt the layoffs. Cooper acknowledged the disruptions caused by the administration’s actions but stated that the court likely lacked jurisdiction.
