Federal workers are concerned about potential job protection losses under a new Trump administration, particularly due to the possible revival of Schedule F, an executive order that could reclassify workers and remove civil service protections. Unions fear this could limit their collective bargaining power and make it easier for agencies to fire employees. During Trump's first term, similar policies were enacted, and unions are wary of their return.

"Biden's Proposed Rule Aims to Curb Trump's Purge Power"

The Biden administration has proposed a new rule aimed at protecting federal workers and preventing the replacement of career government officials with political loyalists. This rule is a response to former President Donald Trump's executive order, known as Schedule F, which stripped job protections from employees in policy roles. The proposed regulation seeks to safeguard the foundation of the federal civil service, ensuring that career employees have due process rights and can serve any administration without partisanship. It tightens the definition of roles exempt from civil service protections and aims to prevent future attempts to undermine the nonpartisan workforce.
