White House expects up to 10% of federal employees to quit in September , officials say.

Order revives Schedule F , which revives a policy from his first administration known as Schedule F.

Policymaking positions could be reclassified into at-will positions, meaning they can be dismissed for any reason.

The National Treasury Employees Union has filed suit to block the Schedule F.

NTEU represents about 150,000 workers in 37 federal agencies and departments.

The complaint argues that Mr. Trump 's order reinstating Schedule F "wrongly applies employment rules for political appointees to career staff".
