US federal judge orders agencies to rehire fired workers

Deccan Chronicle  

Los Angeles: A US judge on Thursday ordered six federal agencies to rehire thousands of probationary workers fired as part of Donald Trump's push to slash the size and scope of government. Judge William Alsup said the justification of "poor performance" for mass lay-offs last month was "a sham in order to try to avoid statutory requirements," the New York Times reported. On Thursday, he said the government was within its rights to downsize staffing, but that it had to be done properly and with justification -- he cited "reduction in force" orders issued by several agencies as legal routes. But, the paper said, court records showed officials from agencies including the IRS, the Department of Defense, and Veterans Affairs, had disputed this, claiming the order to cut probationary workers came directly from the OPM.
