Our Views Will Be Considered by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals!

On June 4, 2016, court orders were received confirming that the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals (FCCA) accepted all three amici briefs filed by our Opt IN USA co-administrators and one of our supporters, nuclear safety specialist Brenda McCracken, in the appeal of Opt IN USA supporter Joseph P. Carson, PE (Professional Engineer). The FCCA is the only U.S. federal court with appellate jurisdiction over work-related disputes of America's federal workforce. That's well over 2 million employees. And the FCCA is considering whether these more than 2 million people are adequately protected from whistleblower reprisal under standards and other considerations proposed by de facto representatives of Opt IN USA. In case you're wondering, they're not adequately protected. It's becoming increasingly important for us to show the solidarity of our national grassroots legal reform community in support of federal workforce/nuclear safety whistleblower Joseph P. Carson, P.E. If you have not already, please share and otherwise promote our petition calling for a hold on reconfirmation of U.S. Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner (pictured courtesy of the Washington Times) whose office has primary responsibility for protecting federal employee whistleblowers from reprisals. In case you're wondering, Lerner's office (the Office of Special Counsel) is not particularly effective.
