As of today, James & Hoffman has received about 800 inquiries from terminated probationary employees. Thanks to those who contacted us. A few updates:
- Given the volume of inquiries, we have not been able to respond individually to everyone. Instead, we will send an email soon in which we provide information on next steps.
- We currently envision filing class action complaints at Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) prior to the 30-day deadline for filing an MSPB appeal.
- We have begun coordinating with labor unions and other law firms on these efforts, and we will continue that process.
- The arguments we envision raising are different from those submitted to the Office of Special Counsel by Democracy Forward and the Alden Law Group (see here).
For more information, please see our prior post. Updates may also be posted on our Bluesky account.
