Jared Golden Accuses Trump of Largest Act of Union Busting in U.S. History

Overturning Trump's Executive Order

• 🏛️ Representative Jared Golden is advocating for the Protect America’s Workforce Act to overturn President Trump's March executive order.
• 🚫 This order ended collective bargaining rights for approximately 1 million federal government employees.
• 📉 The administration has reportedly rescinded over 700,000 union contracts since the order was enacted.

Impact on Federal Workers

• ⚠️ The executive order is described as the largest act of union busting in American history, leaving federal workers more susceptible to unfair treatment and political interference.
• 🛠️ Affected workers in Golden's district and others are crucial for national defense, building warships and caring for veterans, contributing to national safety and strength.

Bipartisan Support and Legislative Process

• ✅ The Protect America’s Workforce Act has garnered support from 226 colleagues, including Democrats and Republicans, highlighting collective bargaining as a non-partisan issue of fairness and dignity.
• 🤝 A bipartisan coalition, including eight Republican co-sponsors and five Republican signatories on a discharge petition, has been formed to bring the bill to the floor.
• 🗣️ Golden emphasizes the importance of the discharge petition process as a mechanism to ensure bills with broad support are not indefinitely blocked by leadership, allowing for a fair chance at an up-or-down vote.

Call to Action

• 🗳️ Golden urges colleagues to vote yes on the rule to allow the bill to be debated and voted upon on the House floor, giving workers a chance to have their voices heard.
• ✨ The goal is to restore workers' voices and demonstrate that Congress will protect workers' rights.
