US labor unions
VS
US government
US labor unions are organizations of workers that join together to advance common interests such as wages, benefits, and working conditions, recognized under US labor law since the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.
The US government, as the federal authority, implements policies and regulations, including those related to immigration and national security.
In this dispute, the government introduced a rule capping student and exchange visitor visas at four years and most journalist visas at 240 days, which labor unions have challenged in court, arguing it harms workers and visa holders, while the administration defends the policy as necessary for national security and immigration control.
