A law practice representing federal workers has filed a class action complaint against the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The complaint alleges that NOAA's mass termination of probationary employees in February 2025 violated the Privacy Act. Specifically, the complaint claims that NOAA, along with the Department of Commerce, DOGE, OPM, and OMB, maintained and used inaccurate and incomplete personnel records by asserting the employees were fired due to poor job performance without providing supporting evidence or documentation.
