Trump's Schedule F Plans Threaten Federal Workforce Stability
TL;DR Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may be significantly impacted by Donald Trump's plans to reintroduce Schedule F, which would make many federal employees at-will hires, allowing for easier dismissal. Former EPA officials express concern that this could politicize the workforce and lead to a loss of experienced staff, particularly affecting scientists and those in policymaking roles. While President Biden rescinded Schedule F, experts believe it could be reinstated, potentially affecting up to 50,000 federal employees. The Trump administration may also consider relocating the EPA headquarters to reduce its workforce.
