The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with its plans for large-scale layoffs. The Maine AFL-CIO said it's most concerned about potential layoffs at Social Security offices in Maine and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
State Department spokesperson said the agency is poised to move "quickly" after the Supreme Court shot down a lower-court ruling blocking the Trump administration from implementing wide-scale reductions in force across the federal government.
