I’m writing to urge your immediate support and to vote in favor of the Protect America's Workforce Act of 2025. This crucial bipartisan legislation, introduced by Congressman Jared Golden and Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, has finally reached the House floor after months of delay. The bill aims to repeal the March 27th Executive Order issued by President Trump, which stripped approximately one million unionized federal employees of their collective bargaining rights across several agencies. The importance of this bill cannot be overstated. It has garnered overwhelming bipartisan support, with 222 members of Congress, including seven Republicans, backing the legislation. This level of cross-party cooperation is a clear indicator of the bill's merit and the urgent need to protect the rights of our federal workforce. The recent success of the discharge petition, initiated by Congressman Golden in June, demonstrates the strong will of the House to address this issue. Labor organizations, including the AFL-CIO and AFGE, have expressed strong support for this bill. Their endorsement underscores the significant impact this legislation will have on the lives and livelihoods of federal employees who serve our nation daily. By voting in favor of the Protect America's Workforce Act, you’ll be standing up for the rights of hardworking federal employees, ensuring fair treatment, and maintaining the integrity of our civil service. This act is not just about labor rights; it's about preserving the effectiveness and morale of our federal workforce, which is essential for the smooth functioning of our government. I urge you to vote 'yes' on this bill when it comes to the floor. Your support will help restore the collective bargaining rights of federal workers and send a clear message that we value and respect the contributions of our civil servants. The time to act is now – let's protect America's workforce and strengthen our democratic institutions. Thank you.
