The US State Department will soon begin mass dismissal of employees as part of President Donald Trump’s policy to reduce the scale of the federal government. It is reported by The Washington Post with reference to the internal correspondence of the department.
According to the document, over the next days, employees will begin to receive notifications of dismissal by e -mail. Although the exact number of workers affected is not indicated, it is emphasized that “everything possible” will be undertaken to support those who leave the service.
The official representative of the State Department Tammy Bruce the day before confirmed that the restructuring plan was approved by the current head of the department Marco Rubio and is already close to implementation.
Earlier, in early June, the California Federal Court temporarily suspended the implementation of the plan, which suggested the dismissal of about 2 thousand employees. However, the US Supreme Court canceled this decision, thereby opening the way to continue the reform.
After coming to power, Donald Trump began a large -scale campaign to reorganize federal structures through the government on the effectiveness of public administration (DOGE). As a result, mass reductions were initiated in departments such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Energy, Labor, Internal Affairs, Finance, for Veterans and the State Department.
The National Scientific Fund, the Small Business Administration, the Social Support Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency also fell under the reduction.
The newly -enhanced employees turned out to be especially vulnerable. Against the backdrop of mass layoffs, various trade unions and public organizations throughout the country sued the Trump administration.
