The highest US court clears away for Trump’s mass layoffs
The Supreme Court of the United States paves the way for Trump’s mass layoffs in federal authorities. For the time being, the government can pursue its plans.
The Supreme Court of the United States has cleared the way for the mass layoffs initiated by the government of President Donald Trump. The US government under President Donald Trump can now continue to continue their plans. However, the trial in court continues.
On Tuesday, the judges of the Supreme Court raised an injunction from a subordinate instance of May 22, which had stopped a far -reaching job cut by the government. At the time, the responsible judge had judged that Trump exceeded his powers with the order. Probably – like former presidents – he had to secure the consent of the congress for the reduction in personnel, it was said to be justified.
Donald Trump wants to reduce government spending with mass layoffs
A group of unions, non-profit organizations and six city and district administrations had sued the layoffs. They also argued that the US government exceeded its powers with the mass layoffs without the consent of the congress.
Months earlier, the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) connected to the White House-at that time still under Tech billionaire Elon Musk-had promoted the conversion of the state apparatus including mass layoffs. The goal: significantly reduce the number of employees and dissolve offices and programs criticized by the government. A total of hundreds of thousands of employees could be affected by the measures. Among other things, employees of the development agency USAID were affected. How many are actually fired is unclear. By reducing personnel, Trump wants to drastically reduce government spending.
