Trump's Civil Service Overhaul Strips Protections for 50,000

#WashingtonDC, #USA
The Donald Trump administration finalized a regulation through the Office of Personnel Management that reclassifies 50,000 career federal employees into an at-will category to facilitate their dismissal.This overhaul, which targets senior staffers involved in policy, effectively strips long-standing civil service protections and shifts whistleblower oversight from independent monitors to individual agencies.Labor unions and advocacy groups led by Democracy Forward CEO Skye Perryman immediately pledged to challenge the rule in court following its publication in the Federal Register.
