Trump Makes It Easier to Expel Federal Workers; Executive Orders Mend "Merit System Principles"

President Trump today (May 25, 2018) ordered a crackdown on poor performance and misbehavior within the ranks of the federal workforce, according to the Washington Times website.

Trump signed three executive orders that reform civil service rules by expediting termination for cause, revamping union contracts, and limiting taxpayer-funded union work at agencies, said a senior administration official.

"Today the president is fulfilling his promise to promote more efficient government by reforming civil service rules," said Andrew P. Bremberg, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. He added the president was instituting "merit system principles."

"These executive orders will make it easier for agencies to remove poor-performing employees and make sure taxpayer dollars are more efficiently used," Bremberg said.
