“Trump’s Supreme Court win results in termination of 16,000 jobs” The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with terminating 16,000 probationary federal employees from six different agencies and departments, overturning a lower court’s decision to reinstate them while legal challenges continue. In an unsigned order, the court stated that the labor unions and nonprofit groups involved in the case did not have sufficient standing to challenge the firings. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented and would have denied Trump’s request. The affected employees were initially ordered to be reinstated by a federal judge, but the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court for an emergency stay, arguing that the plaintiffs had interfered with the government’s employment relationship. Despite the setback, the coalition of unions expressed disappointment but vowed to keep fighting for the affected workers and upholding the rights of the American people.
