Unions representing U.S. government employees filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to block the Trump administration’s plan to offer buyouts to federal workers. The move comes as a U.S. official revealed to Reuters that more than 20,000 federal employees are planning to quit. The buyout proposal aims to reduce the federal workforce, but unions argue it could undermine workers’ rights and lead to disruptions in public services. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the administration and federal labor groups.
