It’s time to get it done for America’s workers.

Thanks to the hard work of working families, union members and our allies, our bipartisan bill to reverse President Trump’s union-busting executive order is getting a vote in Congress. 

That’s right: We’ve got the 218 signatures we need—Democrats AND Republicans—to force Congress to vote on the Protect America’s Workforce Act in the next few weeks. 

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment to help restore collective bargaining rights to the more than 1 million federal workers. Call your representative now and ask them to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Dial 855-493-4407 or fill out this form to receive a call.

Trump’s executive order to gut federal workers’ collective bargaining rights was the worst act of union-busting in American history. Since then, his administration has expanded the order to cover even more workers and canceled the union contracts of nearly half a million federal workers at agencies like the departments of Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services. 

The American people didn’t sign up for this. Approximately 70% of Americans—people with different political positions—support the right to join a union. That’s why we have the support we need to get the Protect America’s Workforce Act across the finish line.

We need every representative—Republican or Democrat—who says they support America’s unions to vote for the Protect America’s Workforce Act and restore federal workers’ union rights. 

So let’s get to work—make a call to your representative today.

Members of AFSCME Council 31 and the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry have reached a tentative agreement ahead of a looming strike date.

“After a long but productive bargaining session on Monday, Nov. 17, union and management representatives reached a tentative agreement on a first union contract at Griffin Museum of Science & Industry,” said the union and museum management in a joint statement. “In the coming days, union members will attend worksite meetings to review terms of the tentative agreement and vote on its ratification.”

A timeline for the contract ratification vote hasn't been set yet. The contract would cover more than 120 employees in the guest experience, guest operations and education departments. Workers had previously voted to authorize a strike that would start Nov. 29 if no agreement was reached.

The workers, members of Council 31, are seeking higher wages and better benefits, including holiday pay for part-time workers, premium pay for bilingual employees, and paid parental leave.

Members of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, an affiliate of both the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA), approved a contract deal with the public school district, ending the threat of strike.

The two-year agreement, which covers three separate union contracts, follows seven months of talks. The deal now must be approved by the school board.

“We are [pleased] to announce that our members have voted to ratify our tentative agreements!” the Minneapolis Federation of Educators wrote in an online post.

The new contract will shrink class sizes, create manageable special education caseloads, and raise pay by 2% this year, followed by a 2% in the 2026–27 school year.

Nine months after voting to organize a union, journalists at LNP | LancasterOnline and public radio partner WITF in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, overwhelmingly ratified their first union contract.

“For an employer of this size to make these improvements and make their employees’ lives better says a lot about Pennon [LNP’s owner],” said Bill Ross, executive director of The NewsGuild of Greater Philadelphia. “They didn’t talk about finances (during negotiations). They didn’t cry the blues. They listened and put money on the table, even severance pay.”

The contract includes a health plan that offers substantially lower deductibles and monthly premiums; a minimum salary of $50,700 for full-time employees; a 3% pay increase in July for all members; a $1,000 signing bonus; 12 weeks of parental leave at 75% pay; and one week of severance pay for every year of service, up to eight weeks.

“As a 40-year employee of the company, I never thought I’d see this happen,” said social media creator Claudia Esbenshade. “The staff works hard to bring the news of Lancaster to its readers, and this contract can make many of them feel more secure in their positions, pay and benefits.”
