President Donald Trump’s efforts to streamline the federal workforce and tame the bureaucracy have hit early snags as blue-state federal district judges side with the unions challenging the president’s actions. Whether the reforms ultimately succeed will likely depend on how higher courts rule. On that score, the Supreme Court handed the administration an early victory when, in an 8-1 decision Tuesday, it dissolved a California judge’s injunction blocking a Trump executive order directing agencies to plan for headcount reductions.

But as the union-administration slugfest plays out in court, it’s worth celebrating a pro-worker reform from Trump’s first term that quietly survived Joe Biden’s presidency and, consequently, doesn’t need to be relitigated now.
