…The #Trump admin has used #NDAs in recent efforts to keep a close hold on certain #information.

The #Pentagon imposed NDAs & random #polygraph testing as part of a broader effort to root out #leaks & those deemed insufficiently #loyal. The Department of #VeteransAffairs also required officials working on #layoffs last year to sign agreements, keeping much of its workforce in the dark about #MassFirings, later canceled.

The decision comes after #VeteransAffairs Secy Douglas A. Collins, under political pressure from #Congress, backed away from a plan to slash 15% of the agency’s workforce through #MassFirings. Instead, the #VA lost almost 30k employees this year from buyout offers & attrition.

The agency hopes that the cuts will reduce the #healthcare workforce to as little as 372k employees, a 10% reduction from last year, acc/to a memo shared with regional leaders last month….

Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.

The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.

A spox for the #OMB said the reductions are “substantial” but did not offer more immediate details.

The #Education Dept is among the agencies hit by new #layoffs, a dept spox said Friday without providing more details. The dept had ~4,100 employees when #Trump took office in January, but its workforce was nearly halved amid #MassFirings in the admin’s first months. At the start of the shutdown, it had ~2,500 employees.

In split decision, #court clears #Trump to restart #CFPB #MassFirings

A divided federal appeals court Friday found Trump should be able to resume mass firings at the #Consumer #Financial #Protection Bureau, ruling a lower court lacked jurisdiction in temporarily blocking it…

However, the court said its decision would not take immediate effect, allowing lawyers for CFPB workers & pro-consumer orgs to seek reconsideration by the full Circuit Court of Appeals for DC.
