CALL: Sign the Discharge Petition and Pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act

President Trump signed an executive order in March that ripped the right to collectively bargain away from hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

It was the single biggest act of union-busting in American history.

So the labor movement got organized—and we got a bipartisan bill introduced in Congress to overturn this executive order. Then we mobilized to get a majority of the members of Congress—Democrats and Republicans—to sign on as co-sponsors for that bill.

And now we have huge news: We have the votes we need to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act in the House of Representatives. And we have a new way to get this bill to a vote.
Congress can do it with a tool called a “discharge petition,” which skips all the political procedures and shenanigans and brings a bill quickly to the floor for a vote. But we need every single member of Congress who says they support America’s unions to sign that discharge petition right now.

It’s time to restore federal workers’ collective bargaining rights. Call your member of Congress—Republican or Democrat—and urge them to sign the discharge petition for the Protect America’s Workforce Act (H.R. 2550) right now.
