So far, only one federal employee union (Local 501, an AFGE local that represents prison guards in the Miami area) has taken legal action against President Biden's unconstitutional federal employee vaccine mandate. There are 986 other AFGE locals who are standing on the sidelines with their hands in their pockets.
Meanwhile, at the national level, AFGE has been complicit, complacent, and accommodating to the President's demand that federal employees submit to experimental treatments.
The best that national level AFGE has done is to ask President Biden to make the federal employee deadline consistent with the federal contractor deadline, which has been moved back to January 18.
AFGE and other unions will tell their members that the President's powers are airtight and that there are no viable legal challenges. Do you really think they would say the same thing if President Trump had done something similar? Including Local 501's case, there are nine cases challenging the mandate in federal court. AFGE and its locals aren't failing to take action because they lack any grounds to challenge the mandate. They aren't challenging the mandate because they don't want to challenge the mandate.
Meanwhile, a growing number of federal employees are banding together to do that which the unions should be doing.
This is a video about their group:
