A federal judge has ordered six federal agencies to rehire thousands of probationary workers who were unjustly fired during the Trump administration. Judge William J. Alsup ruled that the mass firings were unlawful and executed through dubious means by the Office of Personnel Management. The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit initiated by employee unions challenging these terminations. Alsup criticized the government's actions as a facade to justify the firings, underscoring the unfairness of firing competent employees under the guise of poor performance.
Judge William J. Alsup concluded that the government's actions were a gimmick designed to expeditiously carry out mass firings, regardless of actual performance.
He directed the Treasury and the Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy and Interior Departments to comply and offer reinstatement to improperly terminated employees.
