despite repeatedly claiming to be the most pro-worker President and administration in history, since taking office, President Trump took action earlier this year that stripped collective bargaining rights from nearly 1 million Federal employees. These workers are the backbone of our Nation, from nurses caring for veterans, law enforcement officers keeping our communities safe, teachers educating the next generation, and countless others who ensure America runs every day. That is why I was proud to cosponsor the Protect America's Workforce Act alongside my Congressional Labor Caucus co-chairs and our over 120 members to counter what is arguably the largest act of union busting in American history. I urge every Member of this Chamber to join the Congressional Labor Caucus in supporting this crucial legislation. Let's stand with Federal workers in restoring their union rights against these unprecedented attacks on their livelihoods. I urge adoption.
