Two unions representing US government employees filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging President Trump’s efforts to reclassify up to 50,000 federal workers, making it easier to fire them. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), both federated unions under the AFL-CIO, represent more than 2 million government employees combined; AFGE alone represents nearly 800,000 federal civilian employees. They are suing the Trump administration following an executive order issued earlier this month which revived the “Schedule F” employee class.
