A federal judge ruled in President Donald Trump’s favor by reinstating his “Fork in the Road” deferred resignation offer, allowing federal employees the option to resign from their positions with full benefits and pay until September. 

Judge George O’Toole ruled that the plaintiffs, several labor unions, lacked a “direct stake” in Trump’s directive. 

“The unions do not have the required direct stake in the Fork Directive, but are challenging a policy that affects others, specifically executive branch employees,” O’Toole of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, wrote. “This is not sufficient.”
