Halfway across the country in St Cloud Minnesota

Group of protestors on a sidewalk. One holds a sign reading
"They're eating the CHECKS
They're eating the BALANCES"
Another walking past holds a sign captioned "How tariffs work" with a drawing of Trump peeing into a fan that's blowing it back in his face.
Across the street you can see more protestors, one with a sign reading "Protect Free Speech"

Plaintiffs,

Na. C25-01780 WHA

ORDER RE SUBJECT-MATTER JURISDICTION

United States District Court Northern District of California

INTRODUCTION

UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, et al

Defendants.

Early on, I followed three recent decisions in other district courts holding that claims brought by public-sector unions concerning federal employee terminations had to be channeled through the Merit Systema Protection Board and/or the Federal Labor Relations Authority and therefore the district court had no subject matter jurisdiction over those claima, although I accepted subject-matter jurisdiction over claims by the organizational plaintiffs After further briefing, however, this order bolds that the district court does have subject-matter jurisdiction over these claims by public-sector unions and that my carlier ruling to the contrary was mistaken.

ANALYSIS

"The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States 28 USC. 11331. "Not may have jurisdiction, but chall. Axon Enter. v. FTC, 598 US 175,205 (2023) (Gorsuch, J., concurring). Congress nonetheless may countermand jurisdiction by enacting other schemes for specific claims usually review by an agency and then by an appeals court. The result is that a district court shall hear a challenge to an agency action unless (1) Congress provided a statutory review scherme limiting Section 1331 and (2) the claims brought are of the type Congress intended to be reviewed within it.

St Cloud People's March representing in subzero weather!

Person holding a protest sign that reads:

What led to the rise of Hitler?
- Nationalist Sentiment
- Speeches / Rallies Loaded with Propaganda
- Illusion of Strength to Restore Pride
- Ability to Connect to the People's Fear to Support Ideology
- Fragile Democracy / Fragmented Political Landscape
- Intelligent, Good People Staying Silent

DO Something
Because This
Sounds Really Familiar!
