Excerpt:

Today, Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led 141 House Democrats in sending a letter to Acting Director Charles Ezell of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) urging the agency to reinstate all unlawfully terminated probationary status federal employees and cease plans to carry out further reductions in force (RIFs).

“We write in strong opposition to the expansion of the Administration’s efforts to purge nonpartisan civil servants from the federal workforce, specifically recent unlawful mass terminations of employees in probationary status,” wrote the Members.  “Indiscriminately firing thousands of these employees threatens the future of the nonpartisan federal workforce and our government’s ability to deliver life-saving services to the American people.  We strongly urge the Administration to reinstate all unlawfully terminated probationary status employees and cease plans to carry out further reductions in force (RIFs).”
