Union sues over Trump's executive order on hiring and firing federal employees

"Only 41 percent of civil service supervisors are confident that they can remove an employee who engaged in insubordination or serious misconduct," Trump's executive order reads.
A union for federal employees has sued President Donald Trump over an executive order regarding hiring and firing such government workers.
The new class of employee, Schedule F, was created in Trump's executive order on Monday to allow federal employees working on policy to be like political appointees, so they can be swiftly hired and fired. This would allow such employees to be hired outside the traditional merit-based system for bureaucrats.
“Congress has enacted comprehensive legislation governing the hiring and employment of federal employees,” the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) wrote in the lawsuit filed late Monday, The Hill reported. “When establishing hiring principles, Congress determined that most federal government jobs be in the merit-based, competitive service. And it established that most federal employees have due process rights if their agency employer wants to remove them from employment.”
“Because the Policy/Career Executive Order attempts to divest federal employees of these due process rights, it is contrary to congressional intent,” the filing added.

Some court victories will go a long way toward cementing some of these new ideas.

The key here is defunding all aspects of the deep state. The “stupid” party controls both houses of congress. Trump has a golden opportunity to reduce the deep state by defunding it. Don't screw this up Repubs!!!!

I keep hearing there’s federal legislation backing up the original JFK EO establishing these federal unions. If there indeed is another EO won’t disestablish them. It will take legislation to decertify them. Does anyone know if such legislation exists? I was told LBJ got his Congress to pass it.

If you were required to report to an agency office when you were hired, it was part of the paycheck then, and remains so.

The Deep State's ridiculous personal District Court should be loaded with so many 1,000-page AI generated lawsuits, the judges only decision is to take early retirement. Bureaucracy, meet your worthy opponent, AI.

Repeal the 1935 National Labor Relations Act.
Then we can resume treating Labor Unionists like the criminals they are.
