A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deadline for federal workers to decide on a buyout offer from the Trump administration, extending the deadline to at least Monday. The offer was made to around 2 million workers, allowing them to accept an eight-month severance pay or face new workplace reforms. Over 40,000 workers have chosen the offer already. The unions representing US government employees have filed a lawsuit to contest the buyout plan, claiming it raises significant concerns for federal labor rights. The judge emphasized that the block is to allow preparation for a hearing, not an indication of the final decision.
The federal judge's decision to block the buyout deadline reflects ongoing legal scrutiny of the Trump administration's workforce reduction strategy, aiming to protect federal workers' rights.
Judge George O'Toole's temporary measure allows federal workers more time to contemplate the buyout offer amidst rising tensions and legal maneuvers by unions.
