Trump Moves to Ease the Firing of Federal Workers
NY Times, May 25, 2018, Noam Scheiber

President Trump on Friday signed a series of executive orders making it easier to fire federal government workers and rolling back the prerogatives of unions that represent them.  Andrew Bremberg, the head of the White House Domestic Policy Council, said the president was “fulfilling his promise to promote more efficient government by reforming our Civil Service rules.”

But the push also reflects conservatives’ long-running suspicion of the federal bureaucracy, one that the president’s advisers have been outspoken in channeling. Shortly after Mr. Trump took office, Stephen K. Bannon, then his chief strategist, called for “the deconstruction of the administrative state.”

Unions representing government workers were quick to denounce the actions, calling them an “assault on democracy,” in the words of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, which represents 700,000 workers.

Trump signs three executive orders taking aim at unions
Washington Examiner, May 25, 2018, Steve Nelson

President Trump signed three executive orders Friday containing sweeping reforms that weaken protections for federal workers and eliminate perks for the unions that represent them.

Under the new executive orders, estimated to save at least $100 million a year, unions will be charged rent for federal office space and will not be reimbursed for travel expenses or for hours spent appealing worker firings.

Going forward, federal workers must spend 75 percent of their time on government work -- some currently spend none -- and agencies must publicly post union contracts in an online repository.

Trump also ordered the termination of an Obama-era policy that says leniency for one worker sets a precedent protecting others from firing, and shortened review periods preceding discipline for poor-performing employees.

This will either work to clean things up or eliminate opposition in the ranks to the swamp creatures well entrenched there.

Adios parasites.

Like it.  But I will believe it when I see it passed.  Till then it is all talk... and Bullshit walks.

Another attack on women and minorities? That line has become shopworn.

We'll see.  Start with all the agencies that are working against a secure border.

Good job.  If he can manage to avoid effing this up, then it will be a definite positive achievement for Trump.  Keep in mind, of course, that unless he follows through and gets Congress to codify some of his changes, they will be just as easily undone by the next democrat to occupy the White House.

No need to wait for another President.  If any of these "workers" are in Hawaii there'll be a nation-wide injunction before you can say "Rumpelstiltskin."

Not if he leaves it to the right people to draft it properly and document it properly, and provided it doesn’t violate statutory law.  In other words, if he is hands-off and let’s the people who know what they’re doing handle it.  Unlike his idiotic travel bans.

You mean his perfectly legal and Constitutional orders. Only obama so called "judges"/marxist side with your opinion.

Is this relevant and plain enough for politicians calling President Trump's Executive Order on Immigration 'Unconstitutional'?

Suspension of Entry or Imposition of Restrictions By President

"(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
 
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
 
It does not have to be debated by Congress.
