Trump accelerates push to reward loyalty in federal workforce – msn/WaPost
“The House-passed budget proposal under consideration in the Senate would give new federal workers an ultimatum to accept ‘at-will’ status — meaning they could be more easily fired — or pay a higher retirement contribution. The administration also unveiled a plan to require job applicants to write short essays describing how they plan to advance Trump’s priorities. And Trump has revived his previous efforts to reclassify thousands of federal employees and blur the line between political appointees and career professionals.”
