Overview
A federal judge in Boston has allowed President Trump's Deferred Resignation Program to continue after lifting an injunction. Approximately 75,000 federal employees, less than 5% of the workforce, accepted the buyout offer, which provides benefits until September. Unions, contesting the legality of the program, argue it's coercive, but the judge ruled they lack standing to challenge it. The Office of Personnel Management confirmed the program closed after the ruling, stating it was legal and beneficial. Union leaders express concern about the rushed decision-making process for employees, as they evaluate next steps.
