Federal workers face a resignation deadline Thursday amid the threat of potential layoffs. An email titled "Fork in the Road" was sent to some 2 million federal workers, and those employees must resign voluntarily by Thursday in exchange for continued pay and benefits through Sept. 30. We ask a labor and employment attorney about what federal workers need to know when making their decision. He also takes your questions at (904) 549-2937 or firstcoastconnect@wjct.org.
