“The president has doubled down on his effort to politicize and corrupt the professional service. This executive order strips due process rights and protections from perhaps hundreds of thousands of federal employees and will enable political appointees and other officials to hire and fire these workers at will,” said AFGE National President Everett Kelley.
It has taken years to expand and strengthen the civil service, Kelley noted, with Congress creating rules that protect federal workers from “arbitrary hiring and firing decisions that are not based on job performance but on political affiliation, personal loyalty tests and outright discrimination.”
Wednesday’s order puts those rules to the wayside for a huge swath of the federal workforce, he added.
