A federal judge has extended an order blocking the Trump administration's deferred resignations program, which offered federal employees a pay and benefits package to resign. The American Federation of Government Employees filed a lawsuit claiming the plan violates the Administrative Procedure Act. The Justice Department contends that unions lack standing and must seek recourse through specific federal boards. Concerns over the program include employees waiving their right to challenge their resignations. Meanwhile, 65,000 employees have accepted the offer, prompting unions to warn against participation due to potential loss of rights.
We must continue to stop the purge of federal workers. They are heroes for everything they do, and this program undermines their rights and protections.
The unions and employees must first approach the Federal Labor Relations Authority before seeking any judicial review, raising concerns about their ability to contest their resignation agreements.
