Executive Order 13839, titled \u2018Promoting Accountability and Streamlining Removal Procedures Consistent with Merit System Principles,\u2019 sought to advance agency supervisors\u2019 ability to support accountability within the federal civil service while protecting the procedural rights of federal employees,\u201d Ballotpedia notes, adding, \u201cThe order proposed several principles, management tactics, and reporting procedures for agency supervisors to incorporate in order to address issues of employee accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s OPM released the following statement: \u201cBy answering repeated calls from the American public and dedicated civil servants across the country, this EO will allow more direct accountability for chronically poor performing employees. Federal Employment Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) results have consistently shown federal employees believe poor performers are not held accountable. Streamlining dismissal procedures will create greater accountability as the government serves the American taxpayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But within days of his inauguration, President Biden revoked all three of Trump\u2019s executive orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn regulations scheduled to be published in the&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/public-inspection.federalregister.gov\/2021-28205.pdf\">Federal Register<\/a><\/em>&nbsp;Tuesday, OPM moved to implement Biden\u2019s order, reversing the actions taken&nbsp;in 2020,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govexec.com\/workforce\/2022\/01\/opm-proposes-regulations-repealing-trump-era-firing-policy\/360287\/\">Government Executive<\/a> reports. The regulations state:<\/p>\n<p><em>After consideration and review, OPM has concluded that portions of the final rule which became effective on November 16, 2020, and which implemented certain requirements of [Executive Order] 13839, are inconsistent with the current policy of the United States to protect, empower and rebuild the career federal workforce as well as its current policy to encourage employee organizing and collective bargaining.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to continued objections raised since the publication of the Nov. 16, 2020, final rule, OPM believes that the prohibition of clean record agreements hampers agencies\u2019 ability to resolve informal and formal complaints at an early stage and with minimal costs to the agency,\u201d the regulations continue. \u201cNotably, stakeholders have stressed that the prohibition of clean record agreements limits resolution options; reduces the likelihood of parties reaching a mutually agreeable resolution of informal or formal complaints; potentially increases costly litigation and arbitration; and crowds the dockets of third-party investigators, mediators and adjudicators such as the Merit Systems Protection Board, Office of Special Counsel, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jazz Shaw of <a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/jazz-shaw\/2022\/01\/04\/opm-to-roll-back-trump-era-rules-allowing-firing-of-federal-workers-n439183\">HotAir<\/a> commented, \u201cJust to be clear about what\u2019s actually being proposed here, we are talking about federal workers who are found to be so incompetent at their jobs that they have been identified as needing to be replaced. In other cases, these rules would be applied to those found guilty of criminal activity. These changes would make it once again ridiculously difficult to terminate their employment.\u201d He added that one reason Biden wants to roll back Trump\u2019s policy is \u201cthe labor unions representing federal workers are still very powerful and they donate a lot of money to Democrats. They don\u2019t like seeing their members terminated \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
