Recently, tens of thousands of federal workers have been fired or encouraged to resign — regardless of the importance of their roles, their qualifications, or their job performance. These efforts have the potential to undermine the integrity of the federal workforce and the services they provide to our communities. We The Action launched the Public Service Legal Response Center to mobilize lawyers who want to help federal workers access legal resources.
This 90-minute training offers information to broaden the field of legal counsel available to serve these workers. Completing the training will prepare you to represent federal workers, starting this April.

This virtual training session will discuss:
The critical need surrounding federal employee firings, the Civil Service Reform Act, FLRA, Panel (FSIP) Jurisdiction, where to seek relief, challenging a termination, employee MSPB appeal rights, remedies, and an overview of how intake will work for the Federal Employee Legal Defense Network.
Training Speakers:
- Sarah Hasan, American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE)
- Danny Rosenthal, James & Hoffman, P.C.
- Suzanne Summerlin, Summerlin Labor Strategies
