On Valentine's Day 2025, thousands of probationary federal employees were illegally fired, including rangers in the National Park Service. This was a cruel act, ending the careers of many passionate and skilled employees before they could truly start. Today, we honor and remember them by sharing their stories, and we will continue to fight for them.

***Correction!!! Around minute 44 or so, we mistakenly state that NOAA offered probationary workers the chances to be reinstates with backpay. Unfortunately, only a handful of people, roughly 40 instead of hundreds, were brought back who were considered to have passed their probationary period from the time of the initial and second firings. So sorry!***
