Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB)

The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is an independent governmental agency in the United States that protects the rights of federal employees. It hears appeals from federal workers who have faced unfair treatment, such as wrongful terminations, demotions, or disciplinary actions. The MSPB ensures that employment decisions are based on merit rather than discrimination or favoritism. By reviewing cases and issuing decisions, the Board aims to promote a fair and effective federal workforce, maintaining public trust in the government's hiring and employment practices.
