Now perhaps these illegally fired employees can afford to purchase eggs again!
A federal judge ordered the federal government to rehire thousands of employees dismissed from six agencies, saying the Trump administration’s justification for firing the probationary workers had been a “sham.”
The judge directed the Treasury and the Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy and Interior Departments to reinstate any employees who were improperly terminated.
Judge Alsup concluded that the government’s actions were a “gimmick” designed to expeditiously carry out mass firings.
He said it was clear that federal agencies had followed directives from the Office of Personnel Management to use a loophole allowing them to fire probationary workers en masse based on poor performance, regardless of their actual conduct on the job.
“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,” he said.
