A federal judge determined on Friday that the government of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, illegally ordered the dismissal of thousands of federal workers, But he did not issue his reinstatement, citing recent decisions from the United States Supreme Court.
The federal district judge William Alsup in San Francisco clung to his preliminary conclusion in the event that the Personnel Administration Office, OPM for its acronym in English, of The United States illegally ordered numerous agencies to make mass employees.
Unions, non -profit organizations and the state of Washington sued after the Trump government took measures to fire about 25,000 employees to the test, That they usually have less than a year of service, although some are long -standing workers in new jobs.
Alsup said normally “The illegal OPM directive would leave aside and annul its consequences, returning the parties to the status quo ex before and, as a consequence, to employees to their positions.”
“But the Supreme Court has made clear enough through its emergency file that will annul the protection measures granted judicially with respect to hiring and layoffs within the Executivenot only in this case but in others, “Alsup wrote.
In April, the Supreme Court suspended a precautionary measure issued by Alsup in the case, which forced six agencies to read 17,000 employees while the litigation advanced.
Alsup said that too many things had happened since the decision of the April Supreme Court to now order the reincorporation of employees, since many had achieved new jobs while the administration transformed the government.
But Alsup, appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton, said workers “are still harmed by the pretextual dismissal of OPM for performance ‘and that damage can be repaired without reincorporation. “
Ordered 19 agencies, including defense departments, veteran issues, Agriculture, Energy, Interior and Treasury, to update the files of the employees before November 14 and forbade them to follow the OPM guidelines to fire workers.
The representatives of the plaintiffs and of the White House did not respond on Saturday to the requests of comments.
