Earlier this week, Democratic Maryland Congressional members met on Capitol Hill to defend the rights of federal employees amid the torrent of government agency layoffs and dismissals. Their chief objective – to address the rights of government workers in this current wave to reduce their numbers.
Among the speakers was Skye Perryman from Democracy Forward, who reviewed the efforts currently in the courts to preserve the rights of government workers.
Senator Angela Alsobrooks summed up the sentiments of the lawmakers, “No state has more federal workers per capita than our great state of Maryland. These are our friends. Our neighbors. Our family. This President has orchestrated a callous witch hunt against these patriotic Americans. In his attacks on them, he is attacking the people they serve – the American people. Team Maryland will continue to do everything in our power to push back against this Administration.”
