From Nevada Appeal
Carson City resident and Navy reservist Chelsea Milburn found her dream job last fall with the U.S. Department of Education as a public affairs specialist. She would write and edit in a team mostly consisting of other veterans serving the public in communications work.
But it came to a swift end after three months when President Donald Trump’s administration began firing probationary employees.
The terminations of thousands represented multiple federal agencies. Probationary workers were dismissed since they had fewer protections and could not appeal.
