Description: A coalition of labor and democracy partners have created the Rise Up Federal Workers Legal Defense Network to provide legal support to federal workers affected by recent personnel policies through a network of trained lawyers who are available free of charge. This session will give participants an opportunity to better understand the current legal landscape and assess if the Federal Workers Legal Defense Network may be right for their needs. The session will help participants learn how this effort can support them and develop a baseline for the kinds of questions they might ask as they consider legal counsel regarding their employment status.
Speakers:
- Jenny Mattingley (moderator), vice president of government affairs, Partnership for Public Service
- Craig Becker, senior counsel, AFL-CIO
