The US court froze the program of voluntary dismissal of federal employees

Initially, join the program and resign, receiving salaries until September, it was possible until the end of Thursday, February 6.

The suspension is associated with a lawsuit that the American Federation of civil servants and several other trade unions filed on Tuesday in the US District Court in Massachusetts.

The court decision is intermediate, and an additional meeting will be held on Monday.

Trade unions want to “demand from the government to formulate a legal policy instead of an arbitrary, illegal, hasty ultimatum, which employees may not be able to ensure execution.”

Federal trade unions urged members not to accept the proposal of the White House, casting doubt on its legality and the ability of the Trump administration to fulfill their promises.

According to the representative of the presidential administration, as of Thursday, at least 50,000 employees have already accepted the proposal.
