Yet again another way partisan politics are being forced onto non-partisan civil servants.

The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) denounces The Trump Administration’s rule implementing Schedule PC (“Policy-Career”), a new federal employment classification that strips away long-standing civil service protections designed to prevent corruption, political coercion, and abuse of power.

By creating a pathway to convert large numbers of career civil servants into politically controlled positions, this rule threatens the integrity of the executive branch and undermines the foundations of a democratic republic. Schedule PC would enable the mass politicization of government by allowing political loyalty – rather than merit, expertise, and the law – to determine who serves and who is removed.

For more than 150 years, reforms to the federal civil service have been enacted to curb corruption, end political patronage, and protect taxpayers from systems that reward loyalty over competence. These reforms were born of hard lessons: when employees can be fired for refusing to engage in unethical or unlawful conduct, corruption increases, and public trust collapses.
