Is it though?  If you consider the size and scope of federal government, is it really out-of-line with companies large and small that have to occasionally settle similar suits?

Again, I have no idea of the actual numbers, but I would guess 3 out of 4 wrongful termination suits are BS.  And everyone gets them - again, no idea but if I were to guess I'd peg it @ 15% file suit after being terminated.

The other side of the coin is that some companies probably also abuse "termination for cause" to avoid paying certain benefits.  So some of these cases are probably brought, legitimately, simply as leverage to keep benefits earned and avoid that dreaded "terminated for cause" on your employment history.
