The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has ruled in favor of reinstating thousands of federal workers, who were furloughed during the recent 35-day government shutdown. President Trump’s executive order which sought to eliminate those deemed “disruptive” from continuing their duties has been widely criticized, and the court’s decision ensures that thousands of furloughed government employees will receive back pay for their involuntarily lost wages. The ruling also eliminated the prospect of being terminated for conduct that occurred during the shutdy, and focuses on ensuring fair labor practices. The decision against the Trump administration comes after the same court compelled it to restore pay to Coast Guard workers following the shutdown.
