A coalition of 21 attorneys general filed an amicus brief against the Trump administration's federal employee buyout plan, vowing it threatens vital public services. The brief, backed by unions representing more than 800,000 federal workers, demands a temporary restraining order. The attorneys general argue the directive, deemed 'unlawful', prompts confusion and distress among employees and lacks essential information regarding pensions and benefits. They stress that the potential loss of federal jobs could severely impact public services essential to millions of Americans, including healthcare, childcare, and emergency response efforts.
The administration's plan to eliminate thousands of federal employees' jobs is dangerous and would be disastrous for our country. Millions of Americans rely on federal employees for crucial services like healthcare, childcare, transportation, emergency response and more.
The coalition includes attorneys general from 21 states and the District of Columbia, arguing that the directive does not adequately inform employees about their pensions, health benefits and reinstatement rights.
The lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts, highlights that the directive causes confusion and distress among federal workers, who face an arbitrary deadline for the buyout offer.
The amicus brief supports a motion for a temporary restraining order filed by unions representing over 800,000 federal workers, stressing the implications for vital public services.
