Unions urge Supreme Court to deny stay in federal firings case

Federal unions and advocacy groups, including the American Federation of Government Employees and the state of Washington, urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a request from the Trump administration to pause a California court order reinstating 16,000 probationary federal workers. According to court filings, the groups argue the Office of Personnel Management likely exceeded its authority and that any harm from reinstating workers is self-inflicted. The case involves employees from six federal agencies.
