Is that judge nuts? How direct can it get? Want to bet all who opted in are red and shittypants lovers? And inherently stupid. The only benefit of the doubt is that it was written purposely to confuse. Slim possibility a shitload of people didn't understand what they were signing.
The Trump administration has said it will close entries to a programme designed to shrink the number of US government employees by incentivising resignations and proceed with the next stages.
The announcement was made on Wednesday, and followed a ruling from a judge who said the programme, which offered workers eight months of pay if they resign, could move ahead.
US District Judge George O'Toole in Boston said unions who had sued to stop the programme did not have legal standing.
About 75,000 federal employees opted into the programme before it was closed, according to US media reports.[...]
After initially granting an injunction pausing the program, Judge O'Toole said that the unions do not have the "required direct stake" in the issue to challenge it in court.
