Trump's Plan to Overhaul Federal Workforce Raises Alarm

President-elect Trump's proposed reimplementation of Schedule F could drastically change the civil service landscape.

Trump aims to reintroduce Schedule F, allowing the firing of up to 50,000 federal employees and replacing them with political appointees.
Federal workers express concern over potential politicization of nonpartisan roles and the erosion of civil service protections.
The plan faces legal challenges, as the Biden administration has reinforced civil service protections that Trump seeks to circumvent.
Unions and federal employees fear a return to patronage systems, undermining merit-based hiring and job security.
The proposed changes could affect key agencies, with potential impacts on government efficiency and integrity.
