Stand with Federal Workers!

On Thursday March 27, President Donald Trump signed an executive order  eliminating collective bargaining rights for nearly a million federal workers. The President’s illegal action repeals union contracts for thousands of workers at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the Togus VA Medical Center, SUPSHIPS at BIW, the VLF Transmitter Naval facility in Cutler, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) in Limestone and other federal workplaces.

Please take a minute to fill out this form and send a letter to our Congressional representatives to tell them to do everything in their power to protect workers’ rights.

Federal unions—and all unions—are under attack.

In March, the Trump administration took its most blatantly anti-worker, anti-union action yet: an executive order stripping the right to organize from hundreds of thousands of federal workers at more than 30 agencies.  

Now representatives in Congress have introduced the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would overturn Trump’s executive order.

We are asking every single American who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers to join a union to call their member of Congress right now.
