A federal judge ruled against the Trump administration's mass firings of probationary workers, ordering reinstatement for those terminated by multiple federal agencies in February. The decision came from U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who stated that a personnel office acted beyond its authority. The ruling followed a lawsuit from a coalition of labor unions challenging the legality of these dismissals. Alsup criticized the government's practices, emphasizing that employees were dismissed based on unwarranted performance claims, undermining established laws regarding workforce reductions.
It is sad, 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.
Alsup expressed frustration with what he called the government's attempt to sidestep laws and regulations governing a reduction in its workforce.
