This week, Bloomberg Law published an article about the efforts of labor union and other advocates to defend against Trump’s plan to eliminate job protections for federal employees. In the article, titled “Federal Workers Seeking Trump Shield Look to Decades-Old Law,” reporter Courtney Rozen quoted Managing Shareholder Alan Lescht:
Alan Lescht, whose firm has represented federal workers for decades, said he expects employees affected by the order to challenge it by arguing they’re being punished for “partisan political reasons.” Civil service law prohibits removing career employees because of political affiliation.
“Lawyers like myself have been gearing up to fight this since November,” Lescht said.
The article is available on Bloomberg Law or here.
