Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.

In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent council of the inspectors general on integrity and efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.

      I’m talking broadly, US unions should be showing solidarity to government workers getting fired and put in place mass strike action. So employment in any and all industries necessitates union membership. That is union power.

      This the plan. No government -> no regulations. No regulations -> no lube. No lube -> the US citizenry’s anus. Gaping, flaccid, prolapsed US citizenry’s anus’ -> corporate profits.

      Metaphorically speaking of course.
