The Application
The unions contend the Deferred Resignations Program violates these protections by forcing federal employees to waive statutory safeguards and submit to arbitrary termination decisions without procedural due process. The government likely argues removal authority under Article II and existing statutory delegations, but the unions challenge whether such authority permits circumventing civil service protections by conditioning employment continuation on resignation waivers.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the D.C. District Court before Judge Cooper as of February 2025, with the unions seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to halt the program and preserve federal employees' statutory and constitutional rights.
