Trump’s ‘Fork in the Road’ Resignation Deal Faces Backlash from Federal Employee Unions, Legal Experts

Federal employee unions and attorneys advise government workers to reject an offer from the Trump administration. The offer would allow them to resign by February 6th and receive pay through the end of September. An attorney representing federal employees, Jim Eisenmann, criticized the "Fork in the Road" offer, calling it an unregulated idea to push federal workers out of their jobs. He emphasized that the proposal lacks any legal or regulatory foundation. The email raised employee concerns because it came directly from OPM instead of their agency heads, leading some to question its authenticity. Federal employee unions have condemned the email and are advising their members not to resign.
