In fact, it was just about two days ago that some Oregon HUD probationary employees were finally, unequivocally notified that they were re-instated, if that was what they wished. That order was entered 15 days ago, now. They are all owed missing paychecks, through tonight -- no matter what. Here's the just filed 22 page supplement -- and a bit:
. . .The mass termination of probationary federal employees will have rippling effects statewide. For example, sweeping terminations of probationary employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) could “effectively incapacitate” Washington’s housing authorities, which provide vital services to low-income Washingtonians. Dkt 70-7 ¶ 8. Mass firings at the National Institutes of Health would have deep financial implications for Washington state’s top research institutions. Id. ¶ 12. Terminations of NPS probationary employees will lead to unsafe conditions in Washington’s national parks -- which receive tens of millions of visitors per year -- and hamper park rangers’ ability to assist or rescue injured visitors. Id. ¶ 13. Terminations at agencies like the BOR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers risk compromising critical infrastructure such as the Grand Coulee Dam, the largest hydropower producer in the United States. Id. ¶ 16. And probationary employee terminations impacting wildfire response will significantly diminish Washington’s ability to prevent, respond, and contain catastrophic wildfires. Id. ¶ 15.
Of course, the record is already replete with examples of harms that have affected other Plaintiffs and that would similarly affect the State of Washington. . .
This may well lead to more than one Tangeriner or Muskite. . . spending a few nights in jail. Geez. Out.
