A recent ruling from Judge William Alsup reinstated federal probationary workers unlawfully fired en masse by the Trump Administration, labeling the actions as a performance-based pretext. This decision followed a similar ruling by Judge James Bredar, which described the government's justification for the layoffs as frivolous. Both judges noted that while probationary employees deserve fair treatment, the plus side of these rulings offers only temporary reprieve as agencies can still conduct layoffs but must adhere to legal standards, creating an uncertain future for affected workers.
It is a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that's a lie.
The government's claim that the employees were fired for cause, not via a mass layoff, 'borders on the frivolous.'
