More than 1,100 staff members at the Epa received notice today that they were considered to be on probationary status and alerting they might be fired immediately, according to an e-mail gotten by CNN.
Probationary workers getting the e-mail have actually been working at the agency for less than a year. The emails started to head out late on Wednesday afternoon, according to an EPA union authorities.
The very same message will be sent to other company workforces, a White House authorities said. Across the US federal government, the latest information shows there are more than 220,000 staff members on probation.
"As a probationary/trial duration staff member, the agency deserves to right away end you pursuant to 5 CFR § 315.804," the EPA e-mail to probationary workers checks out. "The procedure for probationary elimination is that you receive a notification of termination, and your employment is ended immediately."
"Each worker's status will be identified individually," the e-mail adds.
The e-mail also spells out an appeals procedure workers can take to see if they are qualified for extra protection.
The method resembles how Elon Musk, now a crucial Trump advisor, dealt with layoffs when he purchased Twitter - make a new email alias (in this case, notice@epa.gov) and after that send out mass termination letters to everybody on it.
The US Office of Personnel Management declined to comment, and the White House and EPA did not respond to demands for extra comment.
The EPA union official said these probationary workers aren't the very same as at-will staff members
