Roughly a million federal workers could soon be fired by a Washington office they’ve never worked for — one that can also decide whether its own firing decisions are fair.
Seven federal employee unions sued the Office of Personnel Management Monday, asking the Northern District of California to strike down new rules they say give the office power, unbestowed to it by Congress, to fire federal employees.
The new “Suitability Rule” allows the office to use a tool historically reserved for screening prospective federal employees to take negative actions against people already on the federal payroll.
