为进一步削弱联邦政府雇员队伍，特朗普政府周四发布一项规定，计划将约5万名资深职业雇员重新归类，使他们更容易被解雇。
这项颇具争议的规定允许各机构将从事政策相关工作的联邦雇员重新归类为”随意雇佣”职位，这类职位不享有其他职业雇员所拥有的同等工作保护。
这一调整将影响约2%的联邦雇员。
特朗普政府在规定中明确阐述了设立这一新类别的原因——即”政策/职业时间表”（Schedule Policy/Career）类别。
文件指出：”机构主管报告称，很难因员工表现不佳或不当行为将其解雇。”新类别”将允许各机构迅速将从事不当行为、表现不佳或通过故意破坏总统指示来阻挠民主进程的员工从关键岗位上移除。”
这一规定源于特朗普总统去年上任首日签署的一项行政命令。
该行政命令重启了特朗普在2020年大选前签署的类似行政命令，后者曾设立了一个针对从事政策工作的联邦雇员类别（即F类时间表）。前总统拜登在2024年迅速撤销了该命令，并制定了新规定，进一步加强了对职业联邦雇员的保护。
而此次新规定撤销了2024年的保护措施，立即引发了由30多个工会、倡导组织及其他团体组成的联盟的诉讼威胁。此前，这些团体已就2025年的行政命令提起诉讼。
代表这些组织的”民主前进”组织在一份声明中表示：”该措施允许政府绕过现有文官制度法律，剥夺雇员应得的保护，并为出于政治动机的解雇和雇佣行为敞开大门。自特朗普总统上任以来，此类行为已经发生。”
《华尔街日报》率先报道了这项规定的发布。
Trump administration plans to reclassify 50,000 federal workers, making them easier to fire

In its latest effort to weaken the federal workforce, the Trump administration issued a rule on Thursday that would shift an estimated 50,000 senior career staffers into a new category that would make them easier to fire.
The controversial rule allows agencies to reclassify federal employees involved in policy into at-will positions that don’t provide the same job protections that other career workers have.
It will affect an estimated 2% of the federal workforce.
The Trump administration made it clear in the rule why it created the new category – called Schedule Policy/Career.
“Agency supervisors report great difficulty removing employees for poor performance or misconduct,” it said. The new category “will allow agencies to quickly remove employees from critical positions who engage in misconduct, perform poorly, or obstruct the democratic process by intentionally subverting Presidential directives.”
The rule stems from an executive order President Donald Trump signed his first day in office last year.
It revives a similar executive order that Trump signed shortly before the 2020 election that created a category for federal employees involved in policy, known as Schedule F. Former President Joe Biden quickly reversed that earlier order and finalized a new rule in 2024 that further bolstered protections for career federal workers.
The new rule, which rescinds the 2024 rule, quickly drew promises of a lawsuit from a coalition of more than 30 unions, advocacy groups and others, which had already sued over the 2025 executive order.
The measure “allows the government to bypass existing civil service laws, strips employees of earned protections, and opens the door to politically motivated firings and hirings, which have already occurred since President Trump took office,” Democracy Forward, which is representing the organizations, said in a statement.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the rule being issued.
