美国马萨诸塞州联邦地区法院法官乔治·奥图尔（克林顿任命）2月12日裁定，起诉白宫人事管理办公室“买断”计划的工会并未受到该计划的直接影响，缺乏起诉资格。
奥图尔还认为，地区法院没有审查此案的管辖权，联邦雇员应将投诉提交给审查政府内部人事事务的独立机构，如有质疑可起诉至上诉法院。
奥图尔未就“买断”计划合法性本身作出裁决。
工会方面表示，这是挫折而非斗争的终结。人事管理办公室表示，已有超过7.5万名联邦雇员接受“买断”计划。

The STAR Market, as is implied by the name, is heavily geared toward smaller innovative tech companies, in particular those engaged in strategically important fields, such as biopharmaceuticals, 5G technology, semiconductors, and new energy. The STAR Market currently has 340 listed securities. The STAR Market is seen as important for China’s high-tech and emerging industries, providing a space for smaller companies to raise capital in China.
