Summary

The Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that oversees illegal actions taken against federal workers, ruled that the mass firings of probationary federal workers (those in a trial period after being hired) are likely illegal.

The decision, affecting 6 cases, found that the terminations lacked individualized cause, violating federal rules.

OSC head Hampton Dellinger stated, “Firing probationary employees without individualized cause appears contrary to a reasonable reading of the law.”

This ruling could challenge the legality of nearly all such dismissals, opening the door for broader legal action.

    You guys do realize this is the same type of govt that resulted in the trail of tears right? If the courts can it’s their problem to enforce it. Cause Auth Branch won’t.

    That means they need to issue Dead or Alive warrants for cabinet and elected officials (including President).

    Only one judge’s signature is necessary for a warrant.
