The coalition, which includes Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and American Federation of Government Employees, filed a consolidated and updated legal challenge against a final regulation that would potentially reclassify tens of thousands of federal policy-influencing employees into a new “policy/career” category from which President Donald Trump could fire them at will.
The updated challenge combines a pair of lawsuits previously filed by PEER, AFGE, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, in the US District Court for the District of Maryland.
