ALG believes that all claims of sexual assault and harassment should be thoroughly investigated rather than silenced. We call on the intelligence community to take these reports of intimidation seriously and we applaud the brave women who are calling attention to this injustice.
This week @DRBoguslaw@theintercept spoke with ALG Partner Kristin Alden about her experience representing clients, mostly women, who deal with threats and intimidation when reporting sexual harassment and assault to the CIA and other intelligence agencies https://t.co/g5zoP07EKL
In her interview, Kristin Alden said that threats and intimidation are common at intelligence agencies because women are isolated from their support network and they also “face a constant concern of the agency revoking their security clearance or abandoning them."
ALG's @JimEisenmann and Christine Kumar joined Federal Drive with @tteminWFED at @FederalNewsNet to discuss the @USMSPB decision confirming that fed employees are indeed covered by the #WPA even if they blew the whistle before applying for a fed job. https://t.co/jpOYM4gcXY
Today is #EqualPayDay, a day that marks how far into the year women must continue to work to make the same as men did in 2022. The gender pay gap is wider for women of color, LGBTQ+ women, women with disabilities, and mothers.
On our blog, associate Christine Kumar explains the recent @USMSPB decision cementing an important expansion of who is protected when making whistleblower disclosures under the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. https://t.co/XGiQDVCBUx

.@AldenPllc Partner @JimEisenmann's blog explains the Federal Circuit's decision in McIntosh v Dept of Defense, which represents the likely end to the question of whether @USMSPB AJs are improperly appointed constitutional officers. (Spoiler: they're not).

In a new post for our blog, associate Tyra Robinson explains the recent Final Rule issued by @USOPM. Importantly, the rule removes a prohibition on clean-record agreements and revises other regulations relating to adverse and performance-based actions.
