Trump has issued an executive order that would remove job protections for many federal workers, in a move that unions and other critics denounced as an attempt to politicize the civil service

The change will "enhance accountability for Federal employees who are responsible for making policy decisions that significantly affect the American people," the statement from the White House read. The order itself says that with the help of the new schedule, agencies can more efficiently weed out "poor performers."

Though it's unclear how many employees would be affected, the order provides a potentially sweeping list: Those who are responsible for drafting regulations; perform "substantive policy-related work"; supervise attorneys; report to presidential appointees; or negotiate collective bargaining agreements are among those who could be reclassified.
