WASHINGTON — Federal workers from across the country gathered outside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, calling on the Senate to take up the Protect America’s Workforce Act — legislation they say is essential to restoring union rights stripped away under a recent executive order.
The rally brought together employees from multiple federal agencies who argued the order reclassified large numbers of workers, limiting their ability to unionize and bargain over pay, working conditions, and job protections. Supporters of the bill say those changes are already affecting workplaces and public services, and they are pressing Senate leaders to schedule a vote.
