A federal judge in San Francisco has mandated the reinstatement of probationary employees fired en masse by various federal agencies, including the National Park Service. Judge William Alsup ruled that these firings violated federal law, accusing the Office of Personnel Management of exploiting procedural loopholes to bypass legal protections. This ruling affects 1,000 employees and highlights the necessity for agencies to adhere to lawful layoff protocols. Alsup’s decision is described as a significant victory for the affected employees, reinforcing the importance of due process in federal employment actions.
