Outcome

The court of appeals conditionally granted mandamus relief to the unions, holding that Wiggin's state-law claims against AFGE and AFGE Local 1006 are preempted by the Civil Service Reform Act, giving the FLRA exclusive jurisdiction, so the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction and must dismiss.
