Trump’s Plan to Control More Civil Servants Disrupts Opposition
Bloomberg Law cites CEI’s Devin Watkins on Trump’s civil service overhaul.
Trump’s civil service overhaul could still be challenged in court once the OPM finalizes its proposal, said Devin Watkins, an attorney at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Then, unions will be able to sue the OPM and argue the agency’s actions are “arbitrary and capricious,” in violation of the APA, as outside groups often do when challenging regulations they oppose.
“This will be a lot clearer than just fighting about the executive order,” he said.
