The Application
Schedule F purports to unilaterally convert career civil service positions to at-will status without statutory authorization, removing longstanding employment protections. NTEU argues this action deprives covered employees of both statutory protections and constitutionally protected property interests without notice, hearing, or reasoned explanation, violating APA procedural requirements.
The Conclusion
The case remains pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Jia M. Cobb, with the court to determine the validity of Schedule F's application to federal employees.

The National Treasury Employees Union challenged the Schedule F Executive Order on several grounds. It claims that the order exceeds statutory authority, unlawfully purports to apply to career officials, violates federal employees’ due process rights, and violates the Administrative Procedure Act.
Overview
The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents federal government employees, sued President Trump over his executive orders targeting the collective bargaining rights of federal employees.

Rule
