Trump administration plans to reclassify 50,000 federal workers, making them easier to fire [View all]

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.
