Here is some more information about the proposal to make on-the-job performance more important for government workers (like police, teachers, and transit workers).
Supporters say that people in private sector jobs get promoted for doing a good job and fired for doing a bad job. Government workers shouldn't be treated so differently just because they work for the government.
Opponents say that this change opens the door to favoritism and political abuses. The current system was built to protect government workers from corruption and politically motivated hirings and firings.
