WASHINGTON (AP) — Worries of being uprooted from their jobs have returned for Laura Dodson and other federal workers, who have long been the economic backbone of the nation’s capital and its suburbs. Some federal workers already have experienced efforts to move federal workers to other parts of the country during former President Donald Trump’s administration. Now, with Trump proposing the relocation of up to 100,000 federal jobs, concerns about being abruptly moved are again dogging federal workers. Dodson, who is president of American Federation of Government Employees local 3403, says it’s causing a lot of anxiety and discomfort within the federal workforce.
