President-elect Donald Trump's threat to fire thousands of federal workers unless they return to their office spaces will be met with fierce resistance from employees - and their union contracts, according to a Washington Post report.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's plans to reclassify tens of thousands of federal employees as at-will workers, which would make it easier to fire them. This proposal, part of Trump's broader "Project 2025," aims to dismantle what he describes as the "deep state" by removing job protections for federal workers. However, this initiative faces significant opposition due to existing labor contracts and civil service protections. Many federal employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements that include provisions for job security, making Trump's plans legally and practically challenging to implement. Critics argue that such changes could politicize the civil service, potentially leading to a less stable and less experienced government workforce. The article highlights the tension between Trump's desire for control over the bureaucracy and the established legal frameworks protecting federal workers.
