The Federal Court in California temporarily suspended the implementation of the US State Department’s plan to dismiss about 2 thousand employees as part of a large -scale restructuring. This is reported by The Washington Post.
Judge Susan Ilston from the District Court San Francisco ruled that the decision made in May and regarding the ban on mass dismissal in federal authorities also applies to the plan of the State Department.
Thus, the court rejected the arguments of representatives of the federal government that the initiative of the State Department did not fall under the May Resolution. The department is temporarily forbidden to implement a plan for restructuring, which provides for the dismissal of two thousand employees.
Earlier, the State Department claimed that he presented this plan in Congress back in April – before the Decree of the President Donald Trump entered into force, allowing mass reduction in state institutions.
Since the beginning of his presidency, Trump has begun large -scale dismissal through the department to increase the efficiency of the state apparatus (DOGE). Basically, recently hired employees fell under the reductions, which caused a wave of judicial claims from trade unions and public organizations throughout the country.
