The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the Trump administration can advance with the termination of 16,000 federal test workers in six agencies and departments, rescuing an order from the lower court to be reinstated as the litigation that challenges the dismissals continues.
In a brief and unmarked order, the court said that the nine unions and non -profit groups that had challenged the shots lacked reputation in the matter. The accusations of the groups ” [of harm] They are currently insufficient to support the position of organizations, “said the order.
Judges Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson indicated that Trump’s request would have denied.

Last month, a federal judge ordered the Administration to restore the employees affected in the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior and the Department of the Treasury.
The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court for an emergency stay of the judge’s order, arguing that the plaintiffs lacked position and had “kidnapped the employment relationship between the federal government and its workforce.”
The unions had asked the Supreme Court to preserve the order of the Judge of the District Court that these workers were reinstated due to the imminent damage that would come from the termination.
“Because employees on probation include not only those new in the government, but also those who recently promoted, agencies lost individuals and directors of experienced programs and stayed with arbitrary and unexpected gaps in critical functions,” they wrote in their report. “The reverberations in the agencies and the impacts on the services were dramatic and immediate.”
