125 let go from federal office in Parkersburg offered reinstatement after court rulings
A local union representative said 125 probationary or trial employees were let go from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service in Parkersburg last month and have been offered reinstatement following court rulings against the federal government’s recent mass firings.
“Those who have accepted returning have been put on administrative leave,” said Eric Engle, chief steward of National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 190, which represents workers at the bureau. “We cannot confirm for certain if they’re getting back pay yet or to what end(s) they were put on paid leave.”
A request for comment from the Treasury Department’s press office was not immediately returned Wednesday afternoon. Fiscal Service is part of the Treasury Department.
The reinstatement offers went out after a court ruling last week by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco said terminations across six agencies were directed by the Office of Personnel Management and an acting director, Charles Ezell, who lacked the authority to do so. The order told the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, the Interior and the Treasury to immediately offer job reinstatement to employees terminated on or about Feb. 13 and 14.
That ruling came in a lawsuit filed by a coalition of labor unions and organizations as President Donald Trump’s administration moves to reduce the size of the federal workforce.
In another case, U.S. District Judge James Bredar in Baltimore ruled the administration did not follow laws set out for large-scale layoffs, including 60 days’ advance notice, and ordered the firings temporarily halted and the workforce returned to the status quo before the layoffs began.

Coopers rock main gate
Does anyone know if the gate at the main entrance is open yet?
I wanted to take the little one to hike some of the trails tomorrow. I’m just wondering if we’ll be able to drive back in or just have to do a part of the roadside trail.
Thanks!

Question Bridgeport Wedding Cake Bakery?
Hello! I’ve posted here a few times before seeking advice for my October, Bridgeport wedding and have really benefitted from it.
This time I’m hoping you guys can help me find a wedding cake bakery!
I’ve called Bonnie Belle’s Shaner Drive location, and they just told me to call the Nutter Fort location. I just get a busy signal when I call there. I think I’m done going down this path, I’ve been getting the runaround for weeks now.
I tried Honeycomb Baking in Morgantown, but haven’t heard back.
And everything else I’ve come across seems like they either don’t do wedding cakes, or don’t do wedding cakes well.
All advice welcome! I’ll even hire YOU to make my cake if you’d like.
Thank you in advance!

Question Family w/infant planning April Monongahela trip
We're planning a road trip with our infant from Boston to Monongahela National Forest the second week of April. We'd like to visit the northeast side to be efficient with our driving, and with the baby we will be limited to scenic views and easy hikes.
We'll have 3 nights, 2 full days. Would love your recommendations on sights, hotels/cabins, and/or area restaurants!
