The White House shoots back on Democrats and Union bosses who encouraged federal employees not to take 'buy -out' that is currently on the table for millions of employees.
Last month, Donald Trump announced that federal employees could take a 'buyout', so that they can resign and be paid until 30 September.
So far, around 20,000 have accepted the supply of two million, Axios reported on Tuesday.
Trump's White House wants to reduce the federal workforce with between 5 and 10 percent.
But the 'Deep State' American Federation of Government Employees Union warns that the offer can be a 'trick' and Democrats have beaten it as 'scam'.
The trade union claims that Trump and Doge leader Elon Musk may not have the authority to make such an offer – which means that federal employees who stop may not be paid.
Democrats, including top legislators in the Huis Oversight Committee representatives Jamie Raskin and Gerry Connolly have called the offer a 'illegal scam' and demanded Trump to withdraw immediately.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has also been pronounced against Trump's plans, including the buyout and the federal financing that he called 'evil'.
But the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) of the Trump administration pushed those fears back in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Bosses of the Union and Democratic legislators have warned federal employees that Doge -leader Elon Musk (left) and President Donald Trump (right) may not have the legal authority to pay employees until September – encourage them not to take the 'buyout'
“Union leaders and politicians who tell federal employees to reject this offer do them a serious bad service,” said spokeswoman McLaurine Pinover. “This is a rare, generous opportunity – an opportunity that was thoroughly examined and deliberately designed to support employees through restructuring.”
Pinover added: “Instead of distributing wrong information and using employees as political pawns, they must ensure that federal employees have the facts and freedom to make the best decision for themselves and their families,” she added .
Katie Miller, the wife of the Top Trump assistant Stephen Miller, who now works in an advisory board for Doge, confirmed that the buyout -e -mail was sent to 'more than two million federal employees'.
The Washington Post reported on Tuesday about an e -mail that was sent to employees of the General Services Administration, and said that dismissed in the federal government were 'probably'.
The OPM Memo also warned that federal employees would subject to 'improved standards of suitability and behavior' and gave the staff informed that extra contraction would be added.
This formulation gave trade union leadership a break.
“Purifying the federal government of dedicated career -federal employees will have enormous, unintended consequences that chaos will cause the Americans who are dependent on a functioning federal government,” said Union President Everett Kelley.
“Between the flurry of anti-worker orders and policy measures, it is clear that the purpose of the Trump government is to turn the federal government into a poisonous environment where employees cannot stay, even if they want,” he said .
Others warned that the buyout deal might not get stuck.
“There is no budget control item to pay people who don't show up for work,” said Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine during a speech of the Senate floor last week. 'Don't be fooled. He has misled hundreds of people with that offer. '
Demonstrants are outside the White House and encourage federal employees not to take the 'buyout' of the administration, in which they would stop on Thursday and be paid until the end of September
“If you accept that offer and resign, he will stiff you, just as he stiffened the contractors,” said Kaine.
A OpM -Source went against that claim and said that the deferred dismissal program was 'not a hasty program'.
“It has undergone an extensive legal assessment by experts in the field to guarantee honesty and compliance,” said the source. “This is a rare opportunity – not buy -out or a Maas in the law – but a deliberate attempt to offer employees financial stability, because agencies adjust their staff.”
Thursday is the deadline for federal employees to decide.
