President Trump’s executive order launched the single biggest act of union-busting in our history, ripping the right to collectively bargain away from hundreds of thousands of federal workers and endangering the contracts of millions more. We have the votes in Congress to overturn that order—and today, we’re calling on every House member to stand with working people and put their commitment in writing by bringing legislation to restore our rights to the floor for a vote.
More than 70% of Americans—Democrats, Republicans and Independents—support unions. After months of organizing, there is now also bipartisan majority support in Congress for the Protect America’s Workforce Act to rein in this illegal power grab and restore federal workers’ collective bargaining rights. The bill’s co-sponsors have introduced a discharge petition to ensure the bill gets a vote on the House floor without being subject to political games by politicians who want to delay and deny workers their fundamental freedoms.
Union-busting is unacceptable, whether it’s on the shop floor or in the federal government. The Protect America’s Workforce Act is simple bipartisan legislation that restores the rights of those who care for our veterans, ensure our food is safe to eat, and protect our health and safety on the job. Working people are watching and calling on their representatives to bring this critical bill to a vote.
