The White House is addressing concerns raised by federal employees' unions regarding a resignation offer that allows government workers to resign by February 6 and receive paid leave through September. The Office of Personnel Management insists that this initiative has been thoroughly vetted and aims to aid employees during restructuring. Union leaders assert that Congress, not the president, should authorize such offers, leading to questions about legality. The administration maintains the offer is legally sound, encouraging employees to consider the opportunity for financial stability amidst workforce adjustments.
Instead of spreading misinformation and using workers as political pawns, they should be making sure federal employees have the facts and freedom to make the best decision for themselves and their families.
Federal employees should know that approved union contracts are enforceable by law, and the president does not have the authority to make unilateral changes to those agreements.
