Cooper's ruling is the latest setback for unions that have turned to courts to block Trump's sweeping and unprecedented efforts to shrink the federal bureaucracy.
The unions are instead likely required to file complaints with the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which hears disputes between federal agencies and unions that represent their workers, Cooper said.
US District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, DC, said Trump's onslaught of executive actions in his first month in office have caused "disruption and even chaos in widespread quarters of American society." But he said he likely lacks the power to decide whether the firing of tens of thousands of government workers is lawful.
