Some career federal employees whose work involves making policy will no longer be hired under competitive procedures. They would lose the civil service protections that protect them from ever being fired. Also, they will no longer be union. This comes about with an executive order that President Trump issued Wednesday.
The order would shift those employees from what is called the “competitive service,†which covers most of the 2.1 million executive branch employees, into the “excepted service.†In general, expected service applies to political appointees below the level requiring Senate confirmation.
These are the swamp critters determining our policies without any accountability. This will make them accountable.
