Dozens of probationary employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had their jobs terminated on Tuesday night, according to the union representing CFPB employees.
CFPB's union has identified approximately 73 "bargaining-unit" employees in their probationary period who were terminated, according to Jasmine Hardy, the executive vice president for NTEU Chapter 335, but is still working to confirm the final numbers. Hardy said she believed non-union employees were also fired.
"We believe this was an illegal firing and we are prepared to take action against it," Hardy said in a statement to NPR. "All we want is to get back to work protecting American consumers and ensure markets for consumer financial products are fair, transparent and competitive. Let us work!"
