Federal Employees Are Warned Not to Discuss Trump ‘Resistance’ at Work

“Federal Employees Are Warned Not to Discuss Trump ‘Resistance’ at Work” The federal government is the largest employer in the country, with over 2.5 million employees. The Office of Special Counsel, which enforces the Hatch Act, preventing federal workers from campaigning for political candidates on the job, is now advising that discussions opposing the President violate the Act. This is a surprising and strained interpretation of the law, but federal employees would be prudent to avoid such discussions at work. Given the President’s opposition to LGBTQ rights, this potentially places many topics off limits, and may especially affect LGBTQ employees. https://nyti.ms/2DSvcwU?smid=nytcore-ios-share
