Federal workers bracing themselves for the likelihood their ranks will be purged when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Trump promised on the campaign trail to reinstate a 2020 executive order known as Schedule F , giving him the power to commence mass firings of nonpartisan federal employees who might spoil Trump ’s partisan plans.

Schedule F could be the biggest change to the federal workforce since the late 1800s .

Federal workers “should be able to do their jobs without political interference, without violating their Constitutional oath,” said American Federation of Government Employees national president Everett Kelley .

EPA ’s union leadership told CNN its lawyers are crafting legal challenges against Schedule F , but some experts say they may not be enough to fend off mass firings.
