A union representing thousands of US Environmental Protection Agency employees has sued EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin over the termination of a collective bargaining agreement.

Associated Press reported that the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238 says the termination removed workplace protections for about 8,000 federal employees.

Dispute over federal workforce protections

The union argues the agreement protected employees who raise concerns about scientific work and agency operations. The EPA has previously disciplined workers who signed a declaration criticizing agency policies.

The case adds to a series of disputes between federal employee unions and the Trump administration over workforce rules.
