The Interior Department plans to terminate over 2,000 employees across five government workers unions, according to a Monday court filing.
The department provided updated numbers after it was ordered by a federal judge to include additional information for three additional unions — the National Federation of Federal Employees, Service Employees International Union and the National Association of Government Employees — after they joined a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
The department’s breakdown of its planned job cuts also shows the largest number — more than 770 — would land in the secretary’s office, including 229 working in customer service and another 129 working in the communications office.
