Democratic governors recruit government workers laid off by Trump
==================================================================

On Monday, New York filled digital billboards in Washington's Union Station encouraging former federal government employees to consider some of the state's 7,000 public-sector job openings. It featured a cartoon of a pointing Statue of Liberty alongside the slogan: "New York Wants You."

Hawaii is fast-tracking recruitment. Maryland and New Mexico are convening job fairs.

Trump, a Republican who  in January, has said the executive branch of the U.S. government, which had about 2.3 million civilian employees as of September 2024, is bloated and inefficient. But where Trump sees waste, some Democratic leaders see a talent pool of workers with specialized skills.

The majority of those employees are based outside Washington: in regional offices that deal with taxes or weather forecasts or Social Security benefits administration, in Veterans Affairs clinics and regional prosecutors' offices, and in national parks and wildlife reserves.

Trump's attempts to reduce the size of the payroll, often in a manner seen as haphazard, have caused anxiety and alarm. At least one U.S. district judge has ruled that some of the mass firings, believed to number in the tens of thousands, may be illegal.

The White House declined to encourage the recruitment efforts by Hochul and other governors on Monday.

Most federal employees are in labor unions, a coalition of which has sued Trump's Office of Personnel Management for compelling government departments to fire thousands of probationary employees who have been either recently hired or promoted.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup sided with the unions and issued a temporary order to OPM to cease attempting to fire probationary employees in other departments, saying the office had exceeded the authority given to it by Congress.
