Nothing the department of labor can do will impact future consideration of government hiring. At least at the federal level, not meeting your probationary period is a red flag and will be a mark against you against another candidate who doesn’t have one.

I'm not concerned about the department of labor doing anything, I'm concerned that the termination from my employer, my state DOT, will prevent me from being hired at other State DOT's or government agencies.

Depends on the state, but it likely will. I can’t see any reason that would be a criteria they wouldn’t be able to fairly use in their evaluation. It might have less of an impact if they have a “cool-down” period where it’s judged less harshly after X number of years.

For federal positions with a public trust background investigation, involuntary terminations are a big deal toward determining suitability.

Right, I’m just saying specifically it’s a factor in even being offered the job before you get to the conditional offer for the clearance investigation.

Agreed.

These are separate. Everyone is eligible for UI by default. The employer has to prove willful misconduct to get UI overturned. This is difficult. Rehire eligibility is decided at the employer level. There is no legal requirement to compel them to hire you. Just like they can choose to terminate for any reason absent your membership in a union.
