And NLRB is National Labor Relations Board

“The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is an independent agency that protects federal employees from improper employment actions and ensures adherence to merit system principles. It hears appeals from federal employees regarding adverse actions like removals and suspensions, promoting a fair and effective federal workforce.” - Library of Congress website

Administration is trying to make it so that federal government employees have no legal recourse against baseless political firings.
