A federal judge yesterday ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to reinstate thousands — if not tens of thousands — of probationary workers let go in mass firings across multiple agencies last month, saying that the terminations were directed by a personnel office that had no authority to do so.
US District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco ordered the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defence, Energy, the Interior and the Treasury to immediately offer reinstatement to employees terminated on or about February 13 and 14 using guidance from the Office of Personnel Management and its acting director, Charles Ezell.
