Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration to Continue Plans to Reduce Federal Workforce
On July 8, 2025, the Supreme Court of the United States granted the Trump administration’s request to stay a lower-court judge’s order blocking President Donald Trump’s plan to reduce and restructure the federal workforce, including proposed massive cuts to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and other federal agencies regulating employers. The ruling comes amid a series of legal challenges to the Trump administration’s actions to reshape federal policy and the federal government.
