Maryland is home to the fourth -highest number of federal employees in the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump wants to fire thousands of federal workers.

Trump has said he wants to revive what's known as Schedule F - a policy that can strip civil servants of their protections and make them at-will employees, meaning they can be fired without cause.

The AFGE has reached out to the incoming administration to discuss the important work federal employees do.
