Summary
A federal judge in Boston has lifted a temporary freeze on the Trump administration’s “fork in the road” program, which offers mass buyouts to millions of federal workers.
U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. ruled that labor unions challenging the plan lacked legal standing, as they were not directly impacted.
The unions argued the program could harm their membership and reputation, but the judge found these concerns insufficient.
With the ruling, the administration’s unprecedented resignation incentive can now proceed.
labor unions, representing the labor–the workers who are impacted, labor unions which exist to represent those workers…
don’t have standing.
holy fuck.
A few weeks before the election Trump and Musk had a publicly available sit down in which they talked about how much they hated unions and how worker rights just got in their way.
And then working class Americans came out in the millions and voted for them.
THAT is how stupid Americans are.
The worker rights that took generations to acquire and that people literally died for…well, you can kiss them all goodbye.
We are a truly stupid society.
Random people who already paid their student debt? Standing, Supreme Court agrees with them.
