Judge Hands Trump Admin Win On Federal Employee Payouts​

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. on Wednesday dissolved his temporary freeze on the Trump administration’s plan to offer millions of federal employees a payout, according to a court filing.​

​

In an email sent by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on Jan. 28, the Trump administration began its offer to federal employees of deferred compensation through Sept. 30, provided they submit their resignation notices by Feb. 6. O’Toole Jr. had set a temporary pause on the plan following a lawsuit filed on Feb. 4 by labor unions representing government employees, who claimed the action was unlawful.​

​

However, within his ruling, O’Toole said that, despite the filing, the unions lacked legal standing to bring the suit.​

Read the verdict. As a union, no standing. As an employee, they can sue individually.

Lawsuits coming. Specially when people take the offer and they run out of money as one email noted, dependent on, "ability to pay its obligations under the contract on the ‘availability of appropriations." But on the other hand, why would someone take the offer when they can just wait to be fired, and earn the severance pay?

Is there a guarantee of severance?

Is there a guarantee of severance?

That's what I was wondering. What exactly are they going to sue for?

It's policy.
