  • Two of America's biggest federal worker unions told members on Wednesday not to trust a Trump administration offer to 2 million government employees to quit with eight months pay, while many civil servants expressed anger and defiance over the move.

The article from MSN discusses a warning issued by unions to government workers regarding former President Donald Trump's offer to help them resign if he wins the 2024 election. Trump, during a speech at a Republican dinner in Iowa, suggested that federal workers unhappy with their jobs should resign, promising to help them find new employment. Unions, however, are skeptical of this offer, viewing it as a veiled threat rather than a genuine opportunity. They argue that Trump's history of targeting federal employees, especially those in the civil service, indicates an intent to dismantle the federal workforce. This skepticism stems from Trump's previous administration's efforts to reclassify federal workers, making it easier to fire them, and his general disdain for what he perceives as the "deep state." The unions are urging their members not to trust Trump's promises, highlighting the potential risks to job security and the integrity of public service.
