Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Plan Offering Buyouts For Federal Workers

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to push out federal workers by offering them financial incentives, the latest twist in a chaotic and distressing saga playing out for millions of government employees. “We encourage federal workers in this city to accept the very generous offer,” she said at about the same time as the judge’s ruling came out. “It’s a scam and not a buyout,” said Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees. “I’m taking a risk and being bold and trying to get more federal workers to take a risk to speak out,” said Dante O’Hara, who said he works for the government. The sense from his colleagues is “I don’t know if I’m going to be here tomorrow because, like, we don’t know what’s going to happen.’” Dan Smith, a Maryland resident whose father was a research scientist at the Department of Agriculture, said federal workers are “so underappreciated and so taken for granted.” “It’s one thing to downsize the government.
