A federal judge in California has ordered that several government departments reinstate probationary employees who were terminated last month. The judge, William Alsup, ruled that the Office of Personnel Management’s directive to fire all probationary employees was not legal. Alsup stated that it is unacceptable for the government to terminate employees based on false performance reasons. He stressed that reductions in force are acceptable if done legally. The affected departments include Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy, Interior, and Treasury. This is an ongoing story and updates will be provided as they become available. Gary Grumbach, a NBC News Legal Affairs Reporter based in Washington, D.C., has been covering this case.
