A California district court requires six federal agencies in the US to reinstate thousands of employees who were dismissed as part of the government's civil service reduction policy under Donald Trump's administration. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing Reuters.

This is a sad day when the government fires a good worker and says it was done based on performance when they know very well that this is a lie.

According to Reuters, District Judge William Alsup ruled that the US Office of Personnel Management did not have the authority for mass dismissals.

The court's decision affects employees who were on probation in various agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of the Treasury.

The court's ruling means that dismissed employees must be reinstated until the legal process concludes, which includes lawsuits from unions, non-profit organizations, and the state of Washington. However, it does not extend to the other 16 agencies mentioned in the lawsuit.

The Trump administration and the US Department of Justice disagree with the court's decision. White House Press Secretary Carolina Levitt stated that the judge overstepped his authority, and the government plans to take action. The Department of Justice also plans to appeal the decision in court.

This court ruling represents a significant blow to Trump's policy and his advisor Elon Musk's approach to drastically reducing federal bureaucracy. Government agencies are required to submit plans for a second wave of layoffs and budget cuts by the end of the week.

Summary

The district court in California demands the reinstatement of dismissed employees from six federal agencies in the US. This ruling is a serious blow to the civil service reduction policy implemented by the Trump administration. The Trump administration and the US Department of Justice plan to appeal this court decision.
