Kang Haggerty’s Aaron Peskin quoted in The Philadelphia Inquirer: Federal layoffs hit Philadelphia. Here’s what happened next for workers

Kang Haggerty Senior Counsel Aaron Peskin is quoted in a Philadelphia Inquirer article by reporter Ariana Perez-Castells on the impact of recent federal layoffs impacting governmental employees in the Philadelphia area.

Peskin represents Trevor Otto, a lease contracting officer at the General Services Administration in Philadelphia, on his appeal to the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board.

According to the Inquirer, “Otto is a disabled veteran, and his wife is a caregiver for her parents. They depend on his salary to support themselves and their two young children. He’s appealing his termination to the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, arguing that he should not have been let go given his status.”
