Two more unions have sued President Donald Trump over his executive order aimed at making it easier to fire federal employees.

His order, which builds on one from his first term, creates a schedule of federal workers who don’t receive the same civil service protections as other career positions in the federal service. Previously described as “Schedule F,” the classification applies to positions of “a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character.”
