The article discusses recent terminations of at least a dozen probationary staffers at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), marking a notable reduction in staffing under the current Trump administration. This targeted cut, seen as part of initiatives from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, raises concerns about the future stability of the agency amidst broader federal changes. The FTC union is aware of the terminations but lacks full details and is engaged in ongoing legal efforts relating to these developments.
At least a dozen probationary staffers at the Federal Trade Commission were terminated last week, according to sources familiar with the matter.
This appears to be one of the first times during the current Trump administration that the FTC has been impacted by staffing cuts of this scope.
The cuts indicate that the agency still may not be safe from broader changes to government staffing - though it's still unclear how far it will go.
The email acknowledged terminations at the agency, but did not yet know their scope, and included information about ongoing legal efforts.
