Proposed reduction in force procedure would illegally disregard veterans preference

The Office of Personnel Management has proposed changes to federal Reduction in Force procedures. This proposal has been met with opposition from DAV, a group that advocates for veterans' rights. The proposed changes would affect veterans' preference protections, which have been in place for some time.

DAV argues that these protections cannot be diminished through regulation and that the proposal exceeds the Office of Personnel Management's authority. Further details on the proposal and DAV's opposition are available from the source. DAV is urging the Office of Personnel Management to withdraw the proposed rule to preserve protections for veterans.
