Discharges are expanding in federal authorities, part of the Trump lanes

The Trump administration accelerated the plans for widespread work cuts throughout the government on Friday, when the employees learned from several federal authorities that they would lose their work.

Agencies such as the environmental protection authority and the agricultural department were the youngest, which were made with layoffs, as President Trump and a team, which was led by the billionaire Elon Musk, an initiative to make an initiative to cut the government and revised the government. The administration recently focused on an estimated 200,000 trial workers who do not receive the same protection as many other federal employees.

On Friday, EPA officers said that they had terminated 388 subjects. “President Trump was chosen with the mandate to create a more effective and efficient federal government that serves all Americans and we do exactly that,” said a spokesman for the agency in a statement.

Some of the biggest cuts were carried out in the energy department, which according to three people familiar with the matter took the employees on Thursday. According to one of the people, around 1,000 federal employees of the agency, all probation workers, were informed that they had lost their work. All three spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not entitled to publicly discuss the movements.

More than 300 of these employees were employed by the National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages the country's nuclear weapons fleet, and around 50 goods in the office of the departments of the department, which helped to launch new energy technologies, said two of the people. A spokesman for the energy department denied these figures and said that fewer than 50 people from the National Nuclear Security Administration were released.

In a statement on Saturday, the spokesman said that “these employees were subject to the subject and primarily held administrative and clerical roles” and added that the department “would protect its critical mission, our national security and nuclear deterrence” would continue .

The shots caused confusion within the agency. On Friday evening, at least some of the dismissed employees of the National Nuclear Security Administration was asked to discuss the shots.

In addition, hundreds of federal employees were released on both the Bonneville Power Administration and the western area Power Administration, which monitor a large part of the western network, people said. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Energy did not answer a request for a comment.

The terminations also continued in the US Forest Service, an agency within agriculture, which, according to two people familiar on Thursday, took around 3,400 probation workers on Thursday. Firefighters, law enforcement officers and other positions in connection with public security -relatedness were freed from the dismissals, the people said.

According to groups that represent public agricultural and parking employees, employees of a thousand national park service were also affected by the cuts of the Trump administration among federal workers.

The layoffs even met in the office to drive them, the US DOG service, which was taken over from the digital US service according to the billionaire Elon Musk and his team and as a hub for their efforts to revise the Had redesigned the government. According to a copy of the copy designated by the New York Times, people were announced on Friday evening that they were terminated that “says” USDD no longer needs their services “.

The state -wide layoffs were on Thursday, on the same day, on which the leaders of the Office for Personnel Management, the government's HR department, were met with representatives of the agency, and advised them to dismiss most of the trial workers. On Friday, the agencies were instructed to send OPM officials an updated table that contained information about the probation helper they had ended and which they wanted to keep on Tuesday until 8:00 p.m. after an e -mail that they had retained.

Federal employees are usually a year on probation, but time can take longer for certain positions. According to the latest data, the Federal Government employed around 220,000 employees in May who had worked in their roles for less than a year.

President Trump has aggressively tried to revise the federal civil workers since taking office. At the end of the last month, the administration sent a mass -e email to around two million federal employees who offer them the opportunity to resign but be paid by the end of September. According to the Office for Personnel Administration, around 75,000 employees accepted the offer. The administration completed the program for new entries at the beginning of this week after a federal judge rejected it to block the plan.

Other agencies in the federal government have made plans to lose more workers in the coming days. The Internal Revenue Service prepared to take over thousands of employees in the next week, so several people who are familiar with the matter.

Some workers who were released this week said they were stunned by the abrupt nature of the dismissals, and they were worried about how the loss of their positions could affect government services.

Katherine Taheff, a web team manager at the Office of Personnel Management, said she received an e -mail on Thursday afternoon, in which she said that she would lose her job and that the agency's communication office would be dissolved. Ms. Taheff said that she was concerned that the elimination of these positions could provide the federal employees against access to precise information on the agency's website, which contains details about her health insurance plans, retirement provision and other staff guidelines.

“There is a lot of information that is contradictory because they have not been managed well in the past,” said Ms. Taheff. “That was something I improved.”

An OPM official said other agency employees would continue to update websites.

The layoffs were also quickly convicted by union officers and democratic legislators when they were continued in waves in the entire federal government.

And they created at least a shimmer of republican concern. Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, said that she knew about “potentially over 100” federal workers in her sparingly populated state, which were dismissed and that the government's reaction to her inquiries about the reductions was “avoiding and inadequate”.

“I share the goal of the government to reduce the greatness of the federal government, but this approach brings confusion, fear and now a trauma for our civil servants – some of them moved their families and packed their whole lives to come here,” she “Said on social media.” Important work cuts are not efficient and will not repair the federal budget, but you will hurt good people who have answered the call to the public service to do important work for our nation. “

Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, said on Friday that they heard from workers on the grounds that around 400 probation workers at Bonneville Power Administration were terminated.

“This includes everyone, from electricians and engineers to biologists to workers on cyber security experts and so many others,” said Ms. Murray in a statement. “These are literally the people who help to put on the lights – and now they are fired out of a mood because Trump and Elon Musk have no idea what they do and why it is important.”

On Friday, Mr. Trump said that the efforts of his government to reduce federal work would lead to “enormous” savings. “We want to reduce the government, but make it better,” said Trump.

A spokeswoman for the Office for Personnel Administration said that the trial period is “not a right to permanent employment” and that agencies take independent measures in order to advance Mr. Trump's wider efforts to restructure the Federal Government.
