[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is TRO?[/quote]

Temporary restraining order.  It’s a type of injunction, which is an order from the court telling someone not to do a specific thing.[/quote]

It is designed to keep the status quo pending litigation if there is a likelihood the person seeking the TRO will succeed on the merits and there could be irreparable harm (2 part test). Clearly large outlays of money for workplaces + chaos in the lives of Feds is irreparable harm. And te vindictive tone on the memos and correspondence also doesn’t help their case. And the CBAs are valid contracts. High liklihood of success on the merits. I’ve always assumed there would be a TRO at our agency if they ordered people in because our telework CBA is well written and little wiggle room. And RTO would affect tens of thousands in our agency. And we don’t have space right now for most of them. Entering leases to hold people, outfitting workspaces— and losing in a couple years— irreparable harm. [/quote]

“Large outlays of money for workplaces?” That — and every impact you cite — is by definition *not* irreparable harm. Any damages that can be covered by monetary compensation are not irreparable. If someone quits their job because they can’t commute to the office and they win a lawsuit declaring the RTO requirement to be illegal, they can be made whole by monetary damages. [/quote]

This is accurate. The previous poster had just enough knowledge to spread false hope. [/quote]
No, it’s not.[/quote]
