Dear Senator [Senator’s Last Name],
I am writing to express my deep concern over the mass firing of probationary federal employees under directives from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled these actions illegal, emphasizing that OPM does not have the authority to dictate personnel decisions for other agencies.
These terminations have disrupted essential federal agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Park Service, and the Department of Defense, weakening their ability to serve the public effectively. Federal employees, including those in their probationary period, are critical to the functioning of our government and deserve fair treatment.
I urge you to take action to ensure the reinstatement of affected employees and advocate for stronger legislative oversight to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Protecting the integrity of our federal workforce is vital for maintaining trust in our institutions.
Thank you for your leadership and attention to this important matter. I appreciate your time and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
