A US judge has ordered the Trump administration to pause plans to fire thousands of federal workers during the government shutdown while labor unions challenge the move.The ruling on Wednesday from US District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco follows layoff notices that have gone out to more than 4,100 federal employees since last week.
The order isn’t a final decision on the merits of the case. It means that more than two dozen federal agencies named in the case cannot send out new layoff notices if they involve programs that include labor union members that sued. The decision means the government must halt action on notices that already went out while the judge weighs whether to impose a longer-term block.
