The American Federation of Government Employees #AFGE & other #labor #unions have sued to stop the “reductions in force” #MassLayoffs, saying the firings were an #AbuseOfPower designed to punish #FederalWorkers & pressure #Congress.

Lawyers for the government claim the district court does not have the authority to hear personnel challenges [which is bullshit].

In a strong condemnation of both parties on Monday, the #AFGE argued the #shutdown is an “avoidable crisis” harming American families & workers across the nation.

“Both political parties have made their point, & still there is no clear end in sight,” Everett Kelley, president of the AFGE, wrote. “It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution & end this shutdown today. No half measures, & no gamesmanship.”

#Federal labor #unions targeted in the EOs have repeatedly sued the #Trump admin, & in some cases forced the admin to temporarily pause Trump’s efforts to shrink the federal work force & reshape the government. The American Federation of Government Employees [#AFGE] has filed more than a dozen lawsuits related to the federal work force. The White House has likened this to a declaration of “war.”
