FDA Asks Judge to Jettison Email Monitoring Suit on Procedural Grounds

The FDA is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by six agency scientists who say they were subjected to retaliatory personnel actions as punishment for reporting device safety concerns to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC). The agency argues the staffers improperly bypassed long-standing complaint procedures for federal workers established under the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) and went directly to court.
