Constitutional Rights of Government Employees

Abstract

The intent of this research paper is to study the evolution of the constitutional rights of government employees. There is a perception by many young and old citizens that one must give up some constitutional rights to work for the federal government. Is this perception a reality? If so, what rights must surrendered in order to accept employment with the federal government? I will review the evolution of federal employee rights from the days of Spoils Patronage to the present. My goal is to examine the congressional legislation that protects the rights of federal employees. Is it time to delete or amend the legislative acts that have become the baseline for protecting employer and employee practices?
