President Donald Trump's latest executive order targeting the federal workforce is poised to spark significant legal and policy debates over the future of civil service protections. The order reclassifies certain federal employees into a new Schedule Policy/Career category, making it easier for agencies to remove workers whose positions involve influencing or implementing administration policy. Tully Rinckey PLLC Managing Partner Michael Fallings spoke with SHRM about what these changes mean for federal employees.
