Supreme Court Blocks Recludes of Flapted Servers by Trump

On Tuesday (8), the US Supreme Court has made a favorable decision to the Trump government and allowed the administration not to reject thousands of federal officials.

American courts of lower instances evaluate whether republican efforts to cuts in the public machine are legal, which is the latest victory of the White House in the court, which has a conservative majority.

The measure blocked the request of a lower court judge, who required the government to temporarily reintegrate more than 16,000 stages in probationary stage (period of experience) that the Trump government tries to dismiss in several agencies.

In the succinct decision, of only two paragraphs, the court states that unions that filed the request are not legitimacy for the process.

However, the current decision is not the final word about whether employees will be able to keep their jobs, but will have a significant impact on both workers and agencies for this time.

Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, two liberal judges, said they publicly voted to deny the union request.

Jackson offered a brief explanation, questioning the need for the Supreme Cofre to urgently treat the theme.

The full implications of the decision are not clear, since a federal judge in Maryland issued an injunction earlier this month that reintegrated some of the employees who were not covered in this case in the Supreme Court.

Steve Vladeck, Supreme Court Analyst from CNN and professor at the University of Georgetown Law Center, said the decision was relatively limited.

“All the court said here is that non -profit organizations that obtained an injunction in San Francisco were not the right parts to contest mass layoffs,” he said.

“It is another victory for Trump, but once again only with regard to those who can sue, and in which courts. Other challenges to mass layoffs have already resulted in decisions against the government in other cases, and these remain in force,” he added.

Still, the decision was a victory for the Trump government, which had asked the Higher Court to intervene in the case and reject the lower court order.

In their efforts to reduce civil service, the Trump government has been in probationary workers (experience period) because they have less labor protections and can be fired more easily.


Although these employees cannot appeal to their dismissal, they can do so if the action has due to “party political reasons” or “marital status”.

In this case, unions and other groups have challenged the role of the United States Personnel Management Office (OPM), which is the American Federal Government’s main human resources agency in layoffs, which have affected thousands of employees and sent shockwaves to various federal agencies, some of which later rehired part of the workers.

Judge William Alsup ordered the government to “immediately” to reject more than 16,000 stages in probationary stage.

“Each agency had (and still has) power to hire and dismiss their own employees,” Alsup wrote in his opinion.

“Here, the agencies were oriented by the OPM to dismiss all employees probative, and they performed this guideline. To stop the damage irreparable to the applicants caused by the OPM illegally cutting the team from other agencies, it was necessary to reintegrate these employees immediately,” he wrote.

But Trump framed the case as another example of the federal judiciary intervening in decisions that he says should be left to the executive branch.

“The extraordinarily broad remediation of the District Court is now inflicting continuous and irreparable damage to the executive branch, which justify the urgent intervention of this Court,” Sarah Harris, who was then the interim government of the government.
