A federal judge has decided that tens of thousands of employees who were released without notice by the Trump administration have to be resolved. Provided that you want to return to your workplace at all.
On Thursday, the judge at the district court decided for the Northern District of California, William Alsup that the Federal Government has illegally released thousands of employees on trials in six federal authorities. Just to avoid the labor laws.
“The reason why [das Office of Personnel Management] wanted to justify this on the basis of performance was at least partially – in my opinion – a trick to avoid the law on the reduction of jobs ”,” Alsup said in court. He noted that the ‘law always allowed it to dismiss someone because of their performance’.
Immediately jobs back
“It is a sad day when our government releases a good employee. And says that this is based on performance. PBHORE she knows exactly that this is a lie, ”he added. “It was a deception to try to avoid legal requirements.”
ALSUP decided that the ministries for defense, energy, internal, agriculture, veteran matters and finances “return their jobs immediately” and must follow the proper procedures and legal requirements if they want to carry out greater personnel loss. The judge also criticized Trump’s lawyers tried to “block” the efforts of the court to “block” the truth.
In one on social media The Press spokeswoman of the White House, Karoline Leavitt, made her comment. She regretted that “a single judge tries to deprive the executive unconstitutional authority to hire and discharge”.
Trump wants to “take a closer look at” Richter
“The president has the authority to exercise the power of the entire executive. Individual district judges cannot abuse the power of the entire judiciary to thwart the president’s agenda. If a federal district judge wants to have executive powers, he can try to run for the presidency himself. The Trump administration will immediately defend itself against this absurd and unconstitutional arrangement, ”she added.
Trump and Elon Musk are head of the so -called Department of Government Efficiency (Dog) that has supervised the layoffs. Both have proposed that the courts should not be able to limit the power of the president, what he wants. Trump has So threatenedJudge who block the actions of the Doge “to take a close look at”.
