When the government is your employer, the Constitution is your employment contract. Public employees enjoy First Amendment protections against retaliation for protected speech, procedural due process rights before termination, and protection against compelled financial support for union political speech confirmed by Janus v. AFSCME. The Constitutional Labor and Employment Advanced Warrior is Volume XXXIX of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series. Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full public employment constitutional landscape: First Amendment speech — the Pickering balancing test, Connick's public concern requirement, Garcetti's exclusion of speech made pursuant to official duties, and the post-Garcetti academic freedom exception; Janus v. AFSCME — the overruling of Abood, the impact on public sector union financing, and the First Amendment theory; patronage employment — Elrod, Branti, and Rutan's extension to hiring and promotion; procedural due process — Loudermill and the property interest in continued employment; Fourth Amendment in the government workplace — O'Connor v. Ortega and drug testing under Skinner and Von Raab; and equal protection in public employment under Feeney's discriminatory purpose requirement.
