on March 27, President Trump issued an executive order that took away the collective bargaining rights of more than a million Federal workers at over 30 agencies under the guise of protecting our national security. This includes VA employees, food and safety inspection service workers, health and human service employees, including those at the CDC and the FDA. These workers now have had their voices silenced and have no whistleblower protection if they report about working conditions or safety or even illegal actions taken by their agency. They have lost their voice to demand fair treatment or due process, and they have lost the protection for their job. This is coming from an administration who has been clear that they have no respect for the Federal workforce or even in some cases for the rule of law, who has said that they want to put the Federal workforce in trauma to force them to leave. The Protect America's Workforce Act nullifies this order and restores all collective bargaining agreements that were in effect before March 26, 2025. These collective bargaining agreements were bargained in good faith and are a contract between the Federal Government and the people that work for us. Anyone who says that they are looking out for American workers should support restoring and protecting the collective bargaining rights to allow everyday people, our Federal workforce, to achieve economic security and dignity by speaking with one powerful, unified voice.
