A.F.L.-C.I.O. and other unions and civil rights groups have launched a pro bono legal network to help federal employees whose jobs have been lost or threatened under the Trump administration. This initiative comes in response to the Trump administration's reduction of the federal workforce, mass firing, and budget cuts. Currently, 1000 lawyers from 42 states have trained to provide legal services to federal workers facing job loss or threats of such job loss. This initiative aims to help employees regardless of union member status, to help protect their rights through the agencies they work for and administrative boards. Although lawsuit results have been mixed results the network plans to provide legal support to help navigate through administrative boards and courts. Overall, the network is focused on ensuring the rule of law is upheld while offering support to others affected by job insecurity.

While it is reassuring to see how quickly courts have responded to the Administration, I had not thought about the costs of these cases. I am glad to see that there are concrete efforts of opposition being offered by powerful political groups to people who otherwise may not have options.
