Unions Sue To Stop Trump’s ‘Deferred Resignation’ Program

Unions Sue To Stop Trump’s ‘Deferred Resignation’ Program
SHARE

Labor unions took legal action against the federal government on Tuesday regarding President Donald Trump’s controversial “deferred resignation” program. They argue that the program, which aims to push government workers out of their jobs, is in violation of the law.

Federal employees have been informed through emails that they have the option to submit a resignation for September now and still receive pay and benefits while doing minimal work. However, the specifics of the administration’s plan have been described as “murky at best,” with Democratic lawmakers questioning its legality.

The American Federation of Government Employees, the National Association of Government Employees, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are seeking an injunction to halt the administration’s implementation of the program.

The unions criticized the program, dubbed “Fork in the Road,” as “arbitrary” and “unlawful,” stating that it pressures federal employees to resign or potentially face job loss without compensation.

Concerns have been raised about the legality of the program, including the fact that Congress has only funded the federal government through a continuing resolution until March 14, making the offer of money to federal workers problematic. The unions argue that this violates the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits agencies from obligating funds that Congress has not appropriated.

Furthermore, the program could potentially conflict with ethics rules, as employees have been told they can seek second jobs while still on the federal payroll, despite restrictions on outside work for government employees.

There are also concerns about the administration fulfilling its promises to employees who accept the deferred resignation offer. The lack of clarity on what recourse employees have if the government fails to honor the terms of the program has been highlighted.

The administration’s emails to workers offer little assurance, with prewritten resignation letters indicating that agencies may make adjustments, potentially eliminating or consolidating jobs or reducing job duties for those who resign. Accepting the offer would exempt employees from return-to-office mandates being pursued by the administration.

Follow-up messages from the Office of Personnel Management have aimed to reassure employees that they will not be required to work during the resignation period. One email suggested that employees should seek jobs in the private sector for greater American prosperity.

Overall, the program has raised legal and ethical concerns, prompting labor unions to take legal action to protect federal employees’ rights.
