Trump has instructed all federal agencies to lay off all probationary employees, which is roughly 200,000 employees. People that begin working for the federal government are always started as probationary employees for the first 2 years. They are not covered by the Unions until they complete their probation. So I believe they can be laid off without the permission of the unions. Welcome to the real world. I have worked at companies they do the exact same thing, including the U of I. Very similar to real world companies that will keep contractors on staff, so that the first people let go during bad times are the contractors, then they move on to probationary employees, and then to employees with the least time with the company. Is it unfortunate for these employees, yes, but this is no different than the real world.
200K Federal employees to be laid off very soon.
