A federal judge in Massachusetts decided that unions don't have the standing needed to challenge the "Fork in the Road" offer by the OPM, effectively removing the pause on the deadline for federal workers to decide.
📌 Key Points:
* What? Judge rules against unions, allowing the "Fork in the Road" deadline to proceed.
* Deadline: Originally Feb 6, now ended Feb 13 at 7 PM. 75,000 federal workers have opted in, with benefits until Sept. 30.
💬 Reactions:
* OPM: Program is legal and beneficial.
* Union: Fight isn't over; legality of the rushed decision remains questioned.
🔍 Next Steps: AFGE evaluating further actions.
