  • Unions are asking the court to protect the right to comment on President Donald Trump's plan to reclassify government employees.

The article discusses a potential legal requirement for former President Donald Trump to seek public input before implementing a plan to fire federal employees, should he win the 2024 presidential election. This requirement stems from a lawsuit filed by the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) against the Trump administration's previous attempt to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers into a new category that would make it easier to dismiss them. The lawsuit argues that such a significant change in employment terms should undergo a public notice and comment period as per the Administrative Procedure Act. The case has implications for Trump's "Schedule F" executive order, which aimed to strip job protections from policy-making federal employees.
