More Than 40,000 Federal Workers Have Resigned So Far, Short of Target
- More than 40,000 federal workers have accepted the Trump administration's deferred resignation offer, which allows them to leave their jobs but be paid through the end of September, as reported by an administration official to CNN.
- The Trump administration aims for between 5% and 10% of federal employees to resign, but at least 40,000 represents only about 2% of the 2 million eligible employees.
- Federal unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees, have urged members not to accept the package, questioning its legality and filing a lawsuit to halt the February 6 deadline.
- An OPM spokesperson described the offer as 'a rare, generous opportunity,' while union leaders warn that the reduction in workforce could negatively impact Americans, according to AFGE National President Everett Kelley.
