I rise in opposition to H.R. 2550. Americans pay several hundred billion dollars in taxes each year to fund the salaries and benefits of more than 2 million Federal civilian employees.
I strongly oppose this bill because it would jeopardize our national security, and it locks in harmful last-minute agreements from the Biden administration.
I urge my colleagues to defend Article II, reject this H.R. 2550, and stand with the American people who sent us here to drain the swamp, not to protect it.
I rise today in support of H.R. 2550, bipartisan legislation to restore collective bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of unionized Federal employees.
I rise today not just in support of H.R. 2550, but in support of the right to collectively bargain. This is not a policy idea. It is a lifeline that ensures fair wages, safe workplaces, and the basic dignity that every worker deserves.
I rise in strong support of the Protecting America's Workforce Act, which will restore collective bargaining rights for more than 1 million Federal workers.
I rise today in strong support of the Protect America's Workforce Act, legislation that will restore the collective bargaining rights of more than a million hardworking Federal employees, patriotic public servants who have been targeted viciously by the Trump administration from the very beginning of his time in office unnecessarily and in ways that…
I support this motion, and I encourage my colleagues, including the 226 Members of this Chamber who cosponsored the bill and the 218 of them who signed the discharge petition, to support the motion.
As a former union member, I understand the critical importance of standing together for workers' rights. I know how unions can be a powerful force for change, ensuring working families have a fair shot at the American Dream. That is why the Protect America's Workforce Act is so vital.
Anyone who says that they are looking out for American workers should support restoring and protecting the collective bargaining rights to allow everyday people, our Federal workforce, to achieve economic security and dignity by speaking with one powerful, unified voice.
I rise in support of the Protect America's Workforce Act. I am a proud cosponsor of this bipartisan legislation to restore collective bargaining rights to hundreds of thousands of Federal workers.
I rise today outraged at the ongoing assault on the rights and protections of the Federal workers who serve our Nation, over 48,000 of them in Hawaii alone.
I am a proud former union member and the daughter of union members, and I will always fight to protect union rights. What is true about Kitsap, where I grew up, is that we are not red or blue, but we are a union town. That is why I was proud to cosponsor this bill and a proud signer of the discharge petition.
Our Federal workforce deserves a voice. We know the executive order was the largest act of union busting in our Nation's history. It stripped away collective bargaining rights of over a million Federal employees in over 40 Federal agencies.
They are firefighters, nurses, doctors, air traffic controllers, food inspectors, law enforcement, and public safety officials. They impact every part of our lives, and we take them for granted. We cannot hurt them. We must support them.
I urge all Members to support this legislation and restore these protections for over 1 million Federal workers. Again, this particular legislation is about no political loyalty test having to be administered to workers in the Federal Government. They are accountable to the American people.
We count on these public servants to be on the front lines, keeping our communities running and our constituents safe. In return, they deserve to have their rights protected.
Stripping collective bargaining rights is a direct assault on our nonpartisan civil service. This bill says: Not on our watch. That is why I signed the discharge petition on my first day in office.
I urge my colleagues to do right by the people who serve our country every day by restoring basic fairness and bringing us back to a system that has worked under both parties for decades.
Despite repeatedly claiming to be the most pro-worker President and administration in history, since taking office, President Trump took action earlier this year that stripped collective bargaining rights from nearly 1 million Federal employees.
