News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Huh, fired? For what cause?
A criminal is the head of the governing body that makes the laws. Why even bother asking why he's not following them?
Attempted justice.
Oh don't worry about that -they're reclassifying then as at-will first. Which is the crookedest hiring policy ever. We have it here in Illinois and it's total bullshit.
"cause what are you going to do about it?" Apparently
Its US. You can be fired at any time. What do you think this is? Europe?
Literally, from the article:
It was also not immediately known how many of the fired prosecutors intended to challenge the terminations by arguing that the department had cast aside civil service protections afforded to federal employees
That tells me federal employees have different rules and they may have a path to make things uncomfortable for a while. Whether that's worth the effort is up to them.
By private companies. Federal employees have a lot more protections.
I live in a at-will ~~right to work~~ state, so I understand that. But not every state is an at-will ~~right to work~~ state, and surely the way federal employees are treated is legislated differently and not on a state level. Do federal employees have zero protections?
Right to work means non-union employees can't be forced to pay dues in a unionized workplace. It has nothing to do with at-will employment, which allows an employer to terminate an employee without cause at any time.
The only non-at-will state is Montana.
Right to work means they have the right to fire you for any reason. Sure you can also quit for any reason, but who really needed that?
It literally and definitively does not, hence my prior post.

No, that's "at will" employment. "Right to work" is a completely different thing related to non union members paying into the union.
I'll stand corrected
On paper or in practice?
Because seems like whatever president says goes.
Fair question. On paper. On paper is what actually matters, long term... So long as the checks in balances in place aren't all totally neutralized.
Fascism is here. Causes aren't required anymore.
The BS reason they gave is in the article. We all know the real reason is that they aren't loyal to Dear Leader.
Probably because they think he is incompetent and should be in jail. If your employees don't respect you and think you should be in jail, then they might not be a good fit.
