Federal Workers Challenge Trump’s Mass Firings with Class Action Lawsuits
Federal workers across the United States have initiated class action lawsuits in response to mass firings orchestrated by former President Donald Trump. The legal battles, reported on March 6, 2025, by Reuters, come as a direct reaction to Trump's significant workforce reductions, including the elimination of 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs, announced on March 5, 2025.
The lawsuits are being supported by various state attorneys general, including California's Attorney General Rob Bonta, who has publicly backed the federal employees' cause. Bonta's support was highlighted in a press release from the California Department of Justice, emphasizing the state's commitment to defending federal workers' rights.
Washington state has also joined the legal fray, filing a lawsuit against the federal firings, as reported by King 5 News. These coordinated efforts underscore a broader resistance to Trump's administrative actions, which have affected thousands of federal employees nationwide.
These legal challenges represent a significant pushback against the former president's policies, highlighting the ongoing tensions between federal employment policies and state-level responses.
