Employee Rights
This week, NTEU filed comments opposing the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) proposals to strip federal workers of their right to appeal two types of firings to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB): suitability actions and reductions in force (RIFs). The new proposals would force employees to go to OPM instead of the MSPB to challenge these types of actions. Even worse, both proposals would also remove employees’ right to appeal further to a federal court.
