What Exactly is the MSPB?
This episode explores the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the independent agency safeguarding the integrity of the federal workforce. From its roots in the Civil Service Act of 1883 to the transformative Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the MSPB upholds merit-based employment, adjudicates federal employee appeals, and enforces protections against prohibited personnel practices. We’ll break down its role in whistleblower protections, employee appeal rights, and the adjudication process, uncovering how this watchdog ensures fairness, neutrality, and accountability in federal employment. Tune in for a deep dive into the systems that keep government hiring and firing in check.
