District judge had ordered thousands of probationary workers be rehired as a lawsuit plays out.
The Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s order to rehire thousands of fired federal workers. The high court said that the allegations brought by nine federal trade unions in their initial lawsuit do not have legal standing.
“The District Court’s injunction was based solely on the allegations of the nine non-profit-organization plaintiffs in this case. But under established law, those allegations are presently insufficient to support the organizations’ standing,” the court wrote in its unsigned ruling.
The San Francisco district judge had ruled the administration must reinstate over 16,000 probationary employees released by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs.
An order by a federal judge in Maryland is yet in effect that requires the administration to rehire probationary workers at 20 government agencies.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Chief Justice John Roberts to seek God’s guidance as he presides over the Supreme Court.
- For wisdom for federal judges as they hear and rule on cases regarding the actions of the president’s administration.
- For President Trump and his Cabinet secretaries to be discerning in their decisions and policies.
