Today, NTEU led a coalition of unions, representing hundreds of thousands of employees, in filing a lawsuit challenging the administration’s dangerous efforts to gut the federal workforce. 

The lawsuit calls out the administration’s reckless attacks on America’s long standing, merit-based civil service. Since Jan. 20, this administration has ordered the firing of thousands of new federal workers regardless of their skill and experience, badgered nearly 2 million federal employees to resign in fear of losing their jobs, and threatened the elimination of entire agency functions—if not the actual agency itself—and the jobs that go with them. 

These actions ignore the role of Congress in creating and overseeing federal agencies and their missions and are patently unlawful. 

NTEU has filed four lawsuits, since Jan. 20, aimed at protecting federal employees and the valuable services federal employees provide to the American people. These are unprecedented times and we must stand together and fight to protect the civil service and your jobs in order to continue to deliver the services that Americans depend on. 

We will keep you up to date as these cases move forward.
