The union and the federal staffing rules that make it hard to fire people even for cause are there to prevent the previous serious problem of nepotism and favoritism the were pervasive in the Federal civil service before the rules were enacted, long long ago. They are needed to prevent wholesale firing of the entire staff, to be replaced by the next President's party hacks every election, which was the rule for a long time.
The good thing about that, if true, would be that nobody would stay in federal employ for more than 8 years at a time.
