The Trump plan to make some federal workers "at will" employees
from Eye On Washington with Jessica Klement
This month on Eye of Washington, host Jessica Klement welcomes two guests to discuss one very topical issue: the Trump administration’s proposal to convert employees in “policy-related” jobs into excepted service positions, effectively making them at-will employees. With former President Trump securing the Republican nomination for president, the policy initiative, rolled out towards the end of the Trump administration’s term in 2020, has seen renewed attention. The trio not only discusses the policy, but also concrete steps Congress can take to address civil service issues.
