A federal judge in Boston has ruled in favor of President Trump's deferred resignation program, clearing a key legal obstacle for his plan to reduce the federal workforce. The program, which allows employees to resign and receive pay until September 30, has been challenged by labor unions who argue it's illegal. While another union lawsuit has been filed in Washington, D.C., the impact remains unclear.
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Wednesday removed a key legal hurdle stalling President Donald Trump ’s plan to downsize the federal workforce with a deferred resignation program.
Another group of unions filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. late Wednesday, though its potential impacts were not immediately clear. “Today’s ruling is a setback in the fight for dignity and fairness for public servants," Kelley said. “But it’s not the end of that fight. Importantly, this decision did not address the underlying lawfulness of the program.”
