According to the Washington Post, The Department of Homeland Security has elected to end a court battle over the agency’s ability to use a "separate personnel system" at DHS, including the right to assign and deploy unionized staff members without informing the National Treasury Employees Union, the union for DHS employees.  Stephen Barr writes that union officials and some members of Congress were "outraged" by the DHS plan, and have saluted the DHS decision as a victory for the union.  Read Barr here.
