GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— OPM to Agencies: ‘Be Mindful’ of Policies in Trump’s Workforce Orders Despite Court Ruling – Erich Wagner Novem (DIERSEN: Instead of “making it easier to fire federal employees,” what if Trump wanted to a) stop political affiliation discrimination, b) stop reverse discrimination, c) stop age discrimination, and d) stop retaliation for opposing the aforesaid discrimination in the federal government?)
https://www.govexec.com/management/2018/11/opm-agencies-be-mindful-policies-trumps-workforce-orders-despite-court-ruling/152730/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a memo to agency leaders, Weichert acknowledged that provisions making it easier to fire federal employees, setting time limits on collective bargaining negotiations, and restricting grievances and the use of official time were ruled unlawful by U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson last summer. But she encouraged agencies to continue to pursue the spirit of those executive orders in their ongoing negotiations for new contracts with federal employee unions.)
