Resources for Federal Workers
Since January 20, there have been significant policy changes affecting the federal workforce. I am committed to a strong and nonpartisan civil service that can deliver for the American people. Proposed measures, including mass firings and “deferred resignation,” have raised concerns about workforce disruptions. It’s important to monitor these developments and understand their effects on public service and government efficiency.
As you navigate this challenging time in federal employment, you may wish to contact your union or HR representatives for more information.
If you are a government employee with information related to the politicization of the federal workforce, the firing of civil servants, and waste, fraud, or abuse of taxpayer dollars, you may reach out anonymously to the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
