Daily Act of Resistance #6: Tell Your Rep to Pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act

The Protect America’s Workforce Act undoes Trump’s executive order that barres unions from bargaining on behalf of federal employees at many agencies. Over 1 million federal workers have been affected – about 67% of the federal workforce.

This bill has gained bipartisan support because Americans across political parties overwhelmingly support the right to join a union. Take 5 minutes to do your part to make sure this bill passes the house.

“Trump’s executive order to gut federal workers’ collective bargaining rights was the worst act of union-busting in American history. Since then, his administration has expanded the order to cover even more workers and canceled the union contracts of nearly half a million federal workers at agencies like the departments of Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services.

The American people didn’t sign up for this. Approximately 70% of Americans—people with different political positions—support the right to join a union. That’s why we have the support we need to get the Protect America’s Workforce Act across the finish line.” – AFL-CIO
