President Trump plans to propose a freeze on civilian federal employees' pay for the year 2026, reversing a trend of gradual pay increases. This freeze, revealed through draft budget documents, would be the first since 2013 when federal workers faced multiple years of pay stagnation due to sequestration. The proposed cuts come amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to downsize the federal workforce, including voluntary separation incentives and mass firings of new employees, raising concerns about the implications for labor rights and government efficiency.
President Trump appears set to propose freezing civilian federal employees' pay next year, marking the first pay freeze since 2013 and reflecting ongoing tensions with federal labor.
The proposed pay freeze, outlined in budget drafts, signals a potential shift in federal employment policy amidst broader efforts to reshape the workforce and reduce costs.
