Most federal employees get through their careers without disputes with supervisors. But when they do have a dispute they've got recourse. For five years though, a crucial part of that recourse machinery, the Merit Systems Protection Board, has lacked a quorum, or even any of its three members at all. Now, three nominees are awaiting a Senate vote. For the implications of the missing MSPB, The Federal Drive with Tom Temin turned to long-time federal employee attorney Heidi Burakiewicz. Learn more

The Biden administration ended the last calendar year with a whisper. It added only 1,400 pages to the Federal Register. That's a slow week for a document that grows by 75,0000 or 85,000 pages a year. And yes, there is someone who tracks this.

Through federal agencies, the Biden Administration is trying to enforce several different vaccine mandates. They’ve all faced legal challenges to one degree or another.
