TRUMP SEEKS TO LIMIT LEGAL OPTIONS FOR FIRED LEGAL WORKERS

The Trump administration is trying to make it harder for fired federal employees to get their jobs back, according to a government plan released on Monday, by limiting their right to appeal their dismissal to an independent board.

The Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s HR office, proposed ending the right of fired federal employees to dispute their dismissal before the independent Merit Systems Protection Board, according to the plan. Instead, fired workers would need to appeal to OPM, an office whose director reports to U.S. President Donald Trump.
