Report: Loophole Emerges in National Parks Hiring Freeze – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
The National Park Service will exempt some workers from President Donald Trump’s freeze on the hiring of civilian employees across the federal government, according to two people familiar with the matter and an email obtained by The Washington Post.
As reported by The Washington Post, the exemption will apply to seasonal employees with law enforcement positions, including law enforcement rangers and public safety dispatchers, according to the email and the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement is not yet public.
The move comes after congressional Democrats warned that national parks could be short-staffed during the summer season, when more than 100 million Americans and international tourists typically visit. Conservation groups also raised concerns that a shortage of law enforcement workers could prevent park visitors from receiving lifesaving medical evacuations and care.
