Since taking office on Jan. 20, President Biden has been signing executive actions to roll back measures taken by his predecessor, former President Trump.
Alex Wong/Getty ImagesPresident Biden plans to sign an order on Friday that will toss a plan that would have made it easier to fire top career civil servants, and hire political appointees into high-ranking positions — a practice known as "burrowing."
Former President Trump's plan to create the "Schedule F" category had been decried by federal unions as an attack on people he called the "Deep State" when it was announced in October. But the Biden White House was quick to cancel the classification, saying it "undermines the foundations of the civil service."
The order that Biden plans to sign also will lay the groundwork to require federal contractors to pay a $15 per hour minimum wage and offer emergency paid leave — something Biden wants to accomplish within his first 100 days in office, his top economic adviser Brian Deese told reporters.
Biden also plans to revoke three other Trump executive orders that had rolled back certain collective bargaining protections, Deese said.
