    Under US employment law

    There’s a whole host of laws for different jobs/states/workers.

    Federal workers are some of the most protected workers in America, but only when you’re vested. Because:

    union contract that says otherwise

    But you need a year to get those protections

      So the current union contract specifically gives probationary workers the right not to be fired without cause? Honestly, that’s a lot better than I was expecting.

        What?

        No, it takes a year to be vested, at which much union protections become much stronger.

        Vestment isn’t just a fed or even American thing.

          So then why did you reply to my comment as though you were correcting me if the answer to my question was “yes, probationary workers can be fired without cause for any reason”? You’ve just confirmed that neither federal employment law nor a union contract will protect these probationary workers.

            Did you ever think people wouldn’t give up explaining things to you if you weren’t constantly claiming they said things they didn’t?

            You keep saying “So” and then random shit. Stop trying to make connections and just listen.

              I’m trying to understand the things you are telling me because they don’t make sense and contradict. In the end, I was correct and you’re just weird and have trouble communicating and reading.

                Well…

                The smart thing would have been for you to Google it instead of just asking random social media accounts…

                But yeah, trying to explain things to you is just going to frustrate everyone involved, I’ll make sure I never do it again.
