A major breakthrough just happened in the U.S. House. A discharge petition on the Protect America’s Workforce Act (H.R. 2550) has now reached 218 signatures, forcing the House to bring the bill to a vote within seven legislative days.
This bipartisan bill led by Reps. Jared Golden (ME-02) and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) would reverse President Trump’s executive order stripping union rights from over 1 million federal workers. If passed, it would be the first piece of legislation to successfully push back against a Trump executive order - and a critical step toward Congress reasserting its checks-and-balances role.
Help the House wake up and do the right thing.
Please call your U.S. House rep and tell them: Vote YES on the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Restore federal workers’ union rights now.
Why This Matters
Over the past months, the Trump administration has:
- Stripped collective bargaining rights from more than 1 million federal employees.
- Unilaterally canceled union contracts for 400,000 workers across multiple agencies.
- Centralized control over workplace rules, eliminating long-standing mechanisms for employee representation.
- Expanded executive power over federal labor policy, bypassing Congress entirely.
The Protect America’s Workforce Act would nullify Trump’s dangerous executive order (more info here) and:
- Restore full collective bargaining rights to federal workers.
- Reinstate protections eliminated by Trump’s executive order.
- Reopen a democratic process for resolving workplace issues.
- Strengthen guardrails against executive overreach.
Protecting workers is protecting democracy. When an administration can silence its own workforce, it can hide abuses, retaliate against dissent, and consolidate power without oversight.
