#jobprotections — Public Fediverse posts

#Drumpf promise to #dismantle #CivilService #workers #rights will affect 50,000 career #federal #employees & strips #JobProtections changing long-standing #legal #protections that once prohibited #US #gov from retaliating against #whistleblowers or purging staff for purely political reasons. New draconian rules remove Office of the Special Counsel [#OSC] from oversight of #whistleblower cases.

#FederalAgencies will be in charge of setting up #JobProtections for their own employees that accuse them of wrongdoing, such as violating the #law or wasting money [who decides what is waste?]. That would be a change from the past, when an #independent office known as the Office of the Special Counsel [#OSC] handled #whistleblower disclosures from most civilian #FederalWorkers.

#Trump will have the power to select which government positions will lose their #JobProtections, according to the statement.

‼️The Trump admin is also changing how long-standing #legal #protections that prohibit #US #government agencies from retaliating against #whistleblowers will be enforced, according to the statement.

The overhaul, released by the Office of Personnel Management [#OPM], fulfills a campaign promise for #Trump to strip #JobProtections from #FederalWorkers that his team deems to be "influencing" #government policy. It is the biggest change to the rules governing the #CivilService in more than a century. Trump called the overhaul "#ScheduleF" during his first administration.

Such #CivilServants in #nonpartisan roles traditionally have had #JobProtections that shielded them from the political whims of whoever was in the White House.

But #Trump & many of his backers have long believed the #ConspiracyTheories that a "deep state" of Washington bureaucrats was undercutting his agenda.

Toward the end of his first term, Trump signed an EO establishing a #ScheduleF category for federal employees.

“That incident was a case study in them going after the people who do the #science,”…Clement said.

In April, OPM finalized a rule that will allow federal employees to keep their existing #JobProtections & right to #DueProcess, including the right to appeal a reassignment or firing. The rule overturns a #Trump directive, known as #ScheduleF, that allowed his admin to force out thousands of career employees by changing their status to #AtWill workers who could be fired w/o due process.

#law

The rule addresses a move #Trump tried to make late in his presidency by issuing an EO known in shorthand as #ScheduleF. It would have empowered his admin to strip #JobProtections from #career #federal #employees — who are supposed to be hired based on #merit & cannot be arbitrarily fired. While the EO said agencies should not hire or fire Schedule F employees based on #political affiliation, it effectively would have made these employees more like political appointees who can be #fired #AtWill.

Other proposals in the mix include eliminating #college majors in #GenderStudies, nixing #diversity efforts at #universities & #JobProtections for tenured #faculty, strengthening parents’ ability to veto #K12 class materials & extending a #ban on teaching about #gender & #sexuality — from 3rd grade up to 8th grade..
