A coalition of 20 attorneys general is suing the Trump administration over unlawful mass layoffs of federal probationary workers. Filed in Maryland, the lawsuit claims that required notice periods were ignored, violating federal law that mandates a 60-day notice for such layoffs. It argues that these notices are essential for employees to plan for lost income and for states to allocate resources effectively. The lawsuit targets the Office of Personnel Management for directing abrupt terminations without notice, leaving affected families in financial distress.
"Over the past month, the new Administration has run roughshod over the RIF requirements... employees and their families are struggling to make ends meet."
"Notices allow employees to budget for lost income and for states to mobilize resources, including job placement services and connections to social services."
