Tell Congress: Sign the discharge petition to restore the right of federal workers to unionize.

Pamela, In March, Trump signed an executive order attempting to strip nearly one million federal workers of their right to collectively bargain. According to the AFL-CIO, the order was the single biggest act of union-busting in American history. We're already feeling the effects of Trump's attacks on the federal workforce—missed Social Security checks, long lines at the VA, garbage piling up in parks, grocery items going uninspected, and more. Surprisingly, a bipartisan gang of Congressmembers have banded together around a bill to overturn Trump's executive order and restore collective bargaining rights for federal workers. And they're mad enough to have launched a discharge petition that would force a vote on that bill, the Protect America's Workforce Act. Now, 216 of the necessary 218 members have signed that petition. If just two more members sign on, Speaker Mike Johnson can't block it. And there are THREE Congressmen who co-sponsored the bill but haven't yet signed the petition to discharge it. Tell Congress: Sign the discharge petition and bring the Protect America's Workforce Act to the floor for a vote. TAKE ACTION NOW Americans need to know that they can count on the competent public servants we have trusted for decades. But Trump wants to stack the government with unqualified political loyalists. The bill would overturn Trump's executive order and restore collective bargaining rights to federal workers. A discharge petition would allow the bill to bypass committees and bring a bill directly to the floor for a vote. The Protect America's Workforce Act has the votes it needs to pass, with support from members of both parties—it just needs to get to the floor. We need every member of Congress who supports America's workforce to sign the discharge petition to get the bill on the House floor right now. The working people who keep America running, including the veterans who make up a third of the federal workforce, need a union to protect them—and us along with them. Send a message: Tell Congress to vote on and pass the Protect America's Workforce Act now!
