Federal District Court Judge George O’Toole held a hearing this afternoon in Boston on the so called “Fork in the Road” deferred resignation proposal. He will now consider whether he should bar the administration from carrying out this plan. There have been and will be many other illegal incursions on our government and its employees. We cannot be passive; we must take action. So, this is our 5th email with additional resources for federal employees and also volunteer actions you can take –whether you are a lawyer or not.
PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR NETWORKS.
