Connecticut Judge Orders Bureau of Prisons to Reinstate Union Contracts
What happened
A federal judge in Connecticut ordered the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to reinstate its collective bargaining agreement. The ruling stated that the agency's re-termination of the union contracts violated a preliminary injunction issued last month. Previously, U.S. District Judge Vernon Oliver had found that the Bureau of Prisons' move to terminate contracts with the American Federation of Government Employees likely violated the Administrative Procedure Act because the agency's reasoning was "entirely pretextual".

Why it matters
The court order mandates the reinstatement of collective bargaining agreements, which could affect the operational costs of the Bureau of Prisons. This ruling occurs while the National Labor Relations Board is reviewing Section 10(j) injunctions from district courts to set labor practice precedent.
