Judge Strikes Down Key Parts of Trump’s Orders Easing the Firing of Federal Workers President Trump had promulgated an executive order stating, among other things, that the federal government’s supervisors and managers no longer needed to use progressive discipline, allowing a worker to be fired for the first mistake. This brings the federal merit system more in line with private businesses, which have the right to fire at will (except on the basis of illegal discrimination). It also permitted disparate treatment of workers, rather than imposing punishments commensurate with the objective circumstances. The ruling stated that an executive order may not override the statutory protections put in place by Congress. The ruling is a victory for federal workers, who have the right to be judged on merit, and not the whims of managers. https://nyti.ms/2o9HQyg?smid=nytcore-ios-share
