\WEBINAR -- NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY: A Practical Discussion for Fired Federal Probationary Employees
Sponsored by: Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia
Co-sponsor: Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association (MWELA)
Recent actions of the Administration to “optimize” the federal work force have involved en masse firings of thousands of federal public servants including many probationary employees across agencies. Several lawsuits from civil rights and advocacy groups on behalf of fired employees have been filed challenging these actions, including a class action complaint asking the Office of Special Counsel to intervene on behalf of employees.
While those cases work their way through the courts, what are your next steps? What are your rights as a probationary employee? What must you do to preserve your rights? This lunchtime program will offer a quick primer (not legal advice) for probationary employees seeking to best position themselves at this time of uncertainty.

Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm ET
