Coalition Vows to Continue Legal Fight After Supreme Court Ruling

The Facts -

  • Supreme Court grants government's stay on injunction against OPM.
  • Thousands of federal workers were allegedly unlawfully fired.
  • Coalition vows to continue legal fight for affected employees.


Groups Determined to Pursue Legal Action Following Supreme Court Decision

 

WASHINGTON – In a recent development, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to grant the government's request to stay the preliminary injunction against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This action temporarily stops the ongoing legal proceedings that sought to prevent the termination of thousands of federal employees. The collection of plaintiffs, comprising public service unions, small business groups, veterans, and conservation organizations, as well as rule of law advocates, expressed their resolve to continue the legal fight.

 

"There is no doubt that thousands of public service employees were unlawfully fired in an effort to cripple federal agencies and their crucial programs that serve millions of Americans every day. Today’s order by the U.S. Supreme Court is deeply disappointing but is only a momentary pause in our efforts to enforce the trial court’s orders and hold the federal government accountable.

 

“Despite this setback, our coalition remains unwavering in fighting for these workers who were wronged by the administration, and in protecting the freedoms of the American people. In fact, plaintiffs will be back in court tomorrow developing alternative grounds for relief. This battle is far from over."
