"Former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees are challenging their terminations after they signed a letter criticizing the Trump administration.
Six staffers who the Trump administration fired after they signed a “Declaration of Dissent” letter have filed claims with the Merit Systems Protection Board, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), which is helping to represent the ex-employees.
The June letter, which had dozens of both public and anonymous signers, including current and former EPA staffers, argued that the administration’s policies “undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment.”
When it fired the staffers, the EPA said that it has a “zero-tolerance policy for career officials using their agency position and title to unlawfully undermine, sabotage, and undercut the will of the American public.”"
