A federal judge in California has ordered the departments of Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy, Interior, and Treasury to reinstate probationary employees who were terminated last month. The judge, William Alsup, deemed the Office of Personnel Management’s directive to fire probationary employees as illegal. Alsup expressed concern over the government firing good employees under false pretenses of performance issues. He emphasized the importance of following legal procedures for reductions in force. Further updates on this developing story can be expected. Gary Grumbach, a NBC News Legal Affairs Reporter based in Washington, D.C., will continue to cover this issue.
