(The Center Square) – A group of senators have introduced legislation that would reinstate veterans fired from federal jobs under President Donald Trump’s plan to reduce the federal workforce.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., on Monday introduced the Protect Veteran Jobs Act. She and cosponsoring Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Andy Kim, D-N.J., say the legislation would reinstate veterans fired from federal jobs “as part of the Trump administration’s indiscriminate and mass” layoffs of federal workers.
The bill has an uphill battle. There are no Repubicans among nine cosponsors and the Grand Old Party has a majority in the Senate.
