President Lee Saunders "This decision affirms that these threatened mass firings are likely illegal"

“This decision affirms that these threatened mass firings are likely illegal and blocks layoff notices from going out,” said AFSCME President Lee Saunders. “Federal workers have already faced enough uncertainty from the administration’s relentless attacks on the important jobs they do to keep us safe and healthy. They deserve respect for the work they do – not to be treated as political pawns by the billionaires running this administration who see workers as expendable. AFSCME will continue to stand up to this administration’s blatant abuse of power and mistreatment of public service workers.”
