“President Trump is now the worst union buster in American history. His EO stripping collective bargaining rights from over 1 million federal workers lays to rest once and for all any previous perception he manufactured as being a friend to American workers” said New Jersey State AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech. “I thank Democrats in Congress for standing with us against the President’s Executive Order and we call on all Republicans that consider themselves to be a supporter of organized labor to take action to restore these rights” he concluded.
Four House Republicans (Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa , Nick LaLota, R-NY, Michael Turner, R-OH Michael Lawler, R-NY) are sponsors of legislation seeking to rescind the EO. Additionally, 8 House Republicans, including Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-4) signed a letter to the President seeking the same action. To view that letter, click here.
