Trump administration plans to reclassify 50,000 federal workers, making them easier to fire

In its latest effort to weaken the federal workforce, the Trump administration issued a rule on Thursday that would shift an estimated 50,000 senior career staffers into a new category that would make them easier to fire.

The controversial rule allows agencies to reclassify federal employees involved in policy into at-will positions that don’t provide the same job protections that other career workers have.

It will affect an estimated 2% of the federal workforce.

The Trump administration made it clear in the rule why it created the new category – called Schedule Policy/Career.

Otherwise, the whole of the federal workforce will look a lot like ICE: Dumb and eager to follow bad leadership as a trade off for being allowed to abuse the people who pay the taxes from which they benefit.

We do not need to trade good public servants for more complicit nazi idiots.
