Judge rules Trump admin can move ahead on mass government layoffs

A US judge denied a union's request to stop the firing of thousands of federal employees on probationary status, supporting President Donald Trump's plan to reduce the workforce.
District Judge Christopher Cooper stated he lacked jurisdiction to hear the case, advising the unions to bring their claims to the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
Cooper noted that there are 220,000 probationary employees, with many already dismissed from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Union groups argue that Trump's workforce reduction conflicts with Congress' authority to influence the size and direction of agencies through funding and regulations governing layoffs.
