I am writing to urge your strong support for the Protect America's Workforce Act. This crucial legislation safeguards the rights of our federal employees and maintains the integrity of our labor-management relations in the face of recent executive overreach. The bill directly counters the March 27, 2025 Executive Order on "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs," which threatened to undermine long-standing protections for federal workers. By nullifying this order and prohibiting the use of federal funds for its implementation, the Act ensures that existing collective bargaining agreements remain fully enforceable. This is not merely a matter of labor rights; it's about preserving the stability and effectiveness of our federal workforce. The Act protects the administrative structure that has long governed federal labor-management relations, preventing unnecessary disruptions and potential costs associated with implementing new exclusions. Moreover, this legislation reaffirms Congress's critical role in shaping federal labor policy. It asserts legislative authority in determining the scope of federal labor-management relations programs, providing a necessary check on executive power. The importance of this Act cannot be overstated. It directly benefits approximately 2.1 million federal employees and their families, safeguarding their rights and working conditions. These are the dedicated individuals who keep our government running efficiently, from ensuring our national security to delivering essential services to all Americans. By supporting this bill, you will be standing up for the principles of fair labor practices and the balance of powers that are fundamental to our democracy. You will also be protecting the interests of your constituents who are federal employees or who benefit from the services they provide. I urge you to vote in favor of the Protect America's Workforce Act. Your support will demonstrate a commitment to the hardworking federal employees who serve our nation every day and to the American people who rely on their dedicated service.
