When a civil service employee sues it goes first to the Merit Systems Protection Board. It will probably take months to be finished with the process. Only afterward can a civil service employee appeal to the federal court system.
And the Merit Systems Protection Board is probably controlled by the administration. I would guess the administration could probably turn the months into years.
Extremely helpful context. Thanks Kathleen.
Thank you for a concise and well-reasoned column on why the good guys lost this case. SIGH.
Actually they haven't lost yet. But the Dellinger case is hopeless.
Excellent explanation; thank you!…:)
Thank you for this explanation. I will try to share your optimism about the other cases.
As always, thanks Kathleen for the details.
Crystal clear article. Grateful!
Thank you !
