During Trump’s first week in office, he issued several directives to the Federal Labor Force, including the requirement that remote employees must return to work in person.
With a deadline that is quickly approaching, the American Federation of Government Employees (EGE) and two other unions filed a complaint, claiming that the purchase offer is “arbitrary and capricious” and violates the Federal Law. “
The unions claim that the administration cannot guarantee that the plan is funded and has not considered the consequences of mass renunciations, including the way it can affect the government’s ability to function.

On Tuesday, Afge filed a demand that requested a temporary restriction order (tro) to stop the deadline for “bifurcation” of the Trump administration of February 6 and requires that the government articulate a policy that is legal, non -arbitrary and illegal .
The union said that the “Bifurcation Directive” is the last attempt of the administration to eliminate public service workers and replace them with partisan loyal. The group also says that the directive is equivalent to a clear ultimatum to a radical number of federal employees: “resign now or face the possibility of loss of employment without compensation in the near future.”
But the unions say that the package that is offered violates the law because the funds used to pay employees who accept the offer have not been appropriate for that reason.
“EGE is bringing this demand with our partners today to protect the integrity of the government and prevent the members of the Union being deceived to resign from the federal service,” said the national president of Afge, Everett Kelley. “Federal employees should not be deceived by a skillful talk of unleashed billionaires and their lackeys. Despite the statements made otherwise, this deferred resignation scheme is not financed, illegal and comes without guarantees. We will not be and leave May our members become the victims of this scam. “
Last week, an email was sent throughout the government to ensure that all federal workers were aboard the Trump administration plan.
The email pointed out four pillars that Trump established, to return responsibility to the federal government, including a declaration to work in person, restored the responsibility of employees who have policy formulation authority, restored the responsibility of senior executives and a process of renovated federal hiring. Based on merit.
Email pointed out that most federal employees who have worked remotely from Covid It will be required to return to your physical offices five days a week.
For those who returned to office, the Trump administration thanked them for their “renewed approach” in serving the American people. But the future of its position could not be guaranteed, according to email.

“The number of deferred resignations is growing rapidly, and we expect the largest increase from 24 to 48 hours before the deadline,” said a White House official to Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning.
Axios reported early on Tuesday that approximately 20,000 federal employees have received the offer, representing approximately 1% of the Federal Government’s workforce.
The White House official told Fox News Digital after the publication of the report that the figure of 20,000 “is not current.”
