One thing that the unions have pointed out is that federal agencies are only funded through March 14th, and there's a law that says agencies can't obligate funds that Congress hasn't yet approved. So unions and attorneys have been warning those who take the offer that there's no guarantee that they'll get the money that's been promised.

Well, from the start, they've been told their jobs are not guaranteed and there are going to be significant changes. Agencies are going to be downsized. There are going to be layoffs. Everyone has to come into the office. It's really reminiscent of Elon Musk's resignation offer to Twitter employees, which was also titled Fork in the Road.

The message to them back then was, if you stay, you'll need to be extremely hardcore. Here, federal workers have been told we're going to insist on excellence and we expect you to be loyal. But there is a really big difference between this, the government, and Twitter. Federal employees take an oath to be loyal to the U.S. Constitution, not to a particular president or administration.

The cases were brought by SpaceX and Amazon. Both companies argue that the structure of the National Labor Relations Board violates the separation of powers established in the Constitution. The independent agency was created by Congress in 1935 to protect the rights of workers to organize and collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions.

The independent agency was created by Congress in 1935 to protect the rights of workers to organize and collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions.

The lawsuits were filed after agency investigations found that SpaceX and Amazon had illegally interfered with those rights. A ruling in favor of the companies could make it much harder for workers to unionize and take collective action against their employers. More than two dozen similar cases are making their way through the courts. Andrea Hsu and PR News.

Some two million civilians work for the federal government in all kinds of roles, national security, public health, protecting the environment. Trump insists among them are rogue actors whom he wants to replace. Already, a conservative group has published a watch list of what it calls subversive leftist bureaucrats who cannot be trusted to enforce immigration laws.
