🛑 Stop Schedule F: Protect Your Job and Our Democracy
Schedule F is a proposed rule that would strip job protections from over 50,000 federal workers, converting them into political appointees. These are not cabinet-level jobs—this includes frontline policy analysts, grant officers, scientists, and VA employees like you.
Trump’s Schedule F is back—and this time, they’re ready to purge tens of thousands of civil servants.
We have until May 23 to flood the record with public comments and stop this in its tracks.
âť— What is Schedule F?
Schedule F is a proposed rule that would strip job protections from over 50,000 federal workers, converting them into political appointees. These are not cabinet-level jobs—this includes frontline policy analysts, grant officers, scientists, and VA employees like you.
This plan would allow any administration to:
- Fire career staff without cause
- Install loyalists in technical, policy, and scientific roles
- Silence dissent and whistleblowers
- Politicize veterans’ care, public health, and national security
“If you’re a federal worker who tells the truth, you could lose your job for it. That’s what Schedule F is about.” – AFGE Local 2328 President-Elect Stacy Shorter

🧠Why This Matters to You
- For VA Employees: Schedule F could open the door to partisan interference in how we care for veterans. Medical professionals, case managers, and support staff could be forced out for refusing political directives.
- For Scientists: NIH and NSF officers may be fired for using evidence over ideology.
- For All Americans: It’s a step toward authoritarian control over public services.
“Almost 9 in 10 Americans—Republican and Democrat—believe civil service jobs should be merit-based. Schedule F is the opposite of that.” — Partnership for Public Service
