Federal judges in California and Maryland ordered President Donald Trump’s government to redefined Thousands of federal employees who lost their jobs in the context of mass redundancies carried out in 19 services.

US Regional Judge James Brendar In Baltimore he agreed with 20 states under the leadership of the Democrats that the federal services that they were massively dismissed In the last few weeks They violated the regulations For redundancies.

The judge’s restrictive mandate concerns, inter alia, the Environmental Protection Service, the Consumer Protection Office and the US International Development Office, which are targeted by the Trump government, which aims to reduce federal spending.

At the same time, the judge’s mandate also covers the Ministries of Agriculture, Trade, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Internal Safety, Housing and Urban Development, Internal Affairs, Labor, Transport, Economics and Veterans Affairs.

While the administration argued that it fired each of the employees for reasons of performance or for other reasons, the judge said that This cannot applyas he is regarded as a form of massive redundancies, that requires the prior in advance notification of stateswho are obliged to help their newcomers, as Reuters reports.

“The huge number of employees who were fired within a few days denies any argument that these redundancies were due to the individual unsatisfactory performance or behavior of the employees.”said the judge appointed by President Barack Obama.

His decision was taken a few hours after the US regional judge William Alsup During listening to San Francisco ordered the re -employment of employees fired at six servicesincluding the US Department of Defense, which is not covered by Maryland’s decision.

Alsup said that the US Personnel Management Office (OPM), the Human Resources Service for Federal Services, ordered abusively such services to dismiss mass employees, although He had no power to do so.

“It’s a sad day when our government dismisses a good employee and says this was done on the basis of performance, and knows well that this is a lie,” The judge, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, said.

White House spokeswoman Carolin Levitt in a statement issued after Alsap’s decision said the government would “see it immediately”.

“The president exercises the power of the entire executive – the individual regional judges cannot abuse the power of the entire judiciary to overturn the president’s agenda,” The spokesman noted.

It is noted that the federal workforce of the US consisted of approximately 2.3 million workers when Trump took over the leadership.

The first round of mass redundancies focused on newly -owned persons who were less than a year in place and had less work experience than other government officials and who can be fired because of performance. At least 24,000 people have lost their jobs.

And the Value Protection Council, which examines the federal employees’ appeals when fired, ordered the Ministry of Agriculture earlier this month to re -retrieve nearly 6,000 workersat least temporarily.
