Protect America's Workforce Act

# Protect America's Workforce Act Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would overturn an executive order issued in March 2025 that removed certain federal agencies from federal labor laws governing union negotiations and collective bargaining. If passed, the bill would restore federal employees' rights to collectively bargain (negotiate as a group for wages, benefits, and working conditions) at those agencies and ensure that any union contracts signed before March 26, 2025, remain valid through their agreed-upon end dates. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal government employees at agencies that were excluded from collective bargaining rights by the executive order. It also impacts labor unions that represent federal workers and the federal agencies themselves. **Current Status:** The bill has already passed the House of Representatives.

It would now need to pass the Senate and receive presidential approval to become law. The outcome would likely depend on the Senate's composition and the presidential administration's position on federal employee union rights.
