Description

Former EPA Attorney Ted Yackulic and over one hundred fifty colleagues were fired or placed on leave after signing a letter critical of the Trump administrations environmental policies. Yackulic, with nearly thirty-six years of service, is now challenging his dismissal, arguing it was illegal retaliation for expressing his political views. He and five other former employees filed legal challenges with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, alleging their firings were disproportionately harsh and inconsistent, and that they were terminated without proper cause.
