Firings are a disservice to federal employees, public servants

I am writing to shed light on the disservices being committed against the public servants who tirelessly ensure the continued operation of our country.

Under the Trump administration, the federal workforce has sustained numerous attacks, including the elimination of jobs, undermining of democratically directed government operations, and removing merit-based civil service protections.

The Trump administration has advanced large-scale reductions-in-force that threaten to undermine the effectiveness of government operations, eliminate government functions without the approval of Congress, or privatize government work to the detriment of the public and taxpayer.

In a time where the American people depend on the services provided by the federal community, we cannot stand idly by. I urge my members of Congress, my fellow feds, and my fellow citizens to demand greater transparency regarding the impact on government operations, adherence to the law, and better treatment for our public servants, and for our country.
