During Trump’s first week in power, he issued several directives to the federal workforce, including the request that distant employees must return to a personal job.
Considering that the quickly approaching deadline, the US Federation of Government employees (AFGE) and two other unions filed an appeal, claiming that the purchase bid is “arbitrary and capricious” and violates the Federal Law. “
Unions state that the administration cannot guarantee that the plan will be funded and have not considered the consequences of mass residues, including how it can affect the ability of the Government to function.

On Tuesday, AFGE filed a lawsuit by calling for a temporary restraint order (TR) to stop the Trump administration deadline “Directive for a fork” from February 6 and requires a government to articulate a policy that is legal rather than arbitrary and illegal.
The union said that the “fork Directive” is the latest administration attempt to remove workers in public services and replace them with partisan loyalists. The group also says that the directive is a clear ultimatum to a large number of federal employees: “Responsible now or face the possibility of losing their job without compensation in the near future.”
However, unions say that the package offered to violate the law because the funds paid to pay for employees who accept the offer were not forced for this reason.
“AFGE today brings that lawsuit with our partners to protect the integrity of the Government and prevent the Union members from being fooled to resign for federal service,” said AFGE National President Everett Kelley. “Federal employees should not be deceived by smooth conversation from the unprecedented billionaires and their cubits. Despite the claims of the opposite, this delayed resignation scheme is non -financially, illegal and comes without guarantees. We will not stand and let our members and let our members and let our members Let our members and let our members become victims of this traffic. “
