Federal employee groups prepare to fend off attacks by Trump and allies

The Washington Post reports:

Federal civil servants and their allies took steps this week to prepare for a coming fight with the incoming Trump administration, launching a new online clearinghouse to help workers and meeting privately to share best practices about how to protect themselves.

One education effort organized by public employee unions and watchdog groups will launch Thursday, with a new online public resource center under the banner “Civil Society Strong” that provides information about employee rights, options for legal representation and news about what the group calls “ongoing attacks on the civil service.”
“It is a one-stop shop site that we are hoping will help enable the American public, including civil servants, to be able to access the services they need,” said Skye Perryman, the chief executive officer of Democracy Forward, one of the organizers of the effort. “We know people are going into the holidays with a lot of anxiety about the future. And there is a broad civil society coalition that is really committed that the government can do work for the American people.”
