Government Accountability Project v. Office of Personnel Management

No. 1:25-cv-00347 District · Active Active

Case Overview

The Government Accountability Project and National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, represented by Protect Democracy, sued the Office of Personnel Management and President Trump over his executive order aimed to redesignate thousands of civil servants to make them easier to fire at will.


The Application

History

President Trump issued Schedule F to redesignate federal employees as at-will employees, effectively removing civil service protections and removal procedures. Plaintiffs contend this order exceeds presidential authority under Title 5 and violates procedural requirements by bypassing statutory reclassification standards.

The Conclusion

The case remains active with no final ruling; resolution depends on whether the court finds the President has statutory authority for such broad reclassification and whether the order complies with applicable civil service law requirements.
