Statement on Schedule Policy/Career Executive Order

The Administration continues to focus on trying to strip federal workers of the rights that Congress gave them instead of letting them do the jobs that the American people count on them to do. Now that the Administration has officially ordered the transfer of an untold number of employees to Schedule Policy/Career—so that they are, in the Administration's view, easier to fire—the litigation surrounding this initiative will resume. NTEU looks forward to aggressively pursuing that litigation and fighting to ensure the American people have their government services delivered by federal employees who were hired based on merit and skill, not partisan affiliation.
