The court’s decision denying our request for emergency relief is a temporary setback.
The lawsuit we filed with our labor union partners will be heard and federal employees will get their day in court to challenge the unlawful mass firings and other attacks on their jobs, their agencies, and their service to the country. Already too many federal employees and their families have been devastated by these indiscriminate layoffs, and soon their local economies will feel that pain, too. There is no doubt that the administration’s actions are an illegal end-run on Congress, which has the sole power to create and oversee federal agencies and their important missions regarding public health and safety, national security, economic growth and stability, and consumer protection. Every single one of those missions is now jeopardized by this administration’s actions, and NTEU is prepared to keep fighting on behalf of our nation’s civil servants and the American people who need them on the job.
