Your Workplace Rights
Federal Employee Rights Under President Trump's New Executive Order January 2025
Welcome to "Your Workplace Rights," the podcast where we break down the most pressing issues in employment law so you can understand your rights and protect your future. Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s making waves in the federal workforce—the dismantling of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs under a new Executive Order.
What does this mean for you as a federal employee? How will these changes reshape your workplace, and what rights do you still have under existing civil rights laws? From sweeping layoffs of DEI staff to the removal of diversity training programs, these policies claim to restore merit-based systems while raising serious questions about fairness, inclusivity, and the future of workplace equity.
We’ll explore the legal landscape, uncover what these shifts mean for federal and private-sector employees, and discuss how you can take action to protect your rights. Whether you’re navigating this new terrain as a federal worker, an employer, or someone impacted by these changes, this episode is for you.
Stay tuned—because understanding your rights is the first step toward standing up for them!
