FIGHTING FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE & DEMOCRACY
Sisters and Brothers,
On March 27, Trump signed an executive order to remove the right to join unions and collectively bargain from workers across the federal government at more than 30 agencies.
That’s bad enough. But the executive order makes it clear he specifically targeted these workers and their unions because they have filed grievances against him and members of his administration over illegal layoffs and other actions they have taken to violate union contracts and federal law.
This should be of grave concern to everyone who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers to join together to improve their working conditions. We will not let Trump destroy what we’ve fought for generations to build.
CWA is a fighting union. When our employers violate our collective bargaining agreements, when they refuse to bargain fair contracts, when they stand in the way of workers’ organizing to join our union, we use every tool we have to protect our rights. That is exactly what the federal workers are doing, and Donald Trump is attempting to punish them for it.
We won’t back down. We won’t be silenced. Our solidarity is stronger than Donald Trump and the CEOs and billionaires who helped elect him. Send your message today to ensure that every worker is able to join a union and collectively bargain to ensure a better future for themself and their family.
In unity,
Dan Mauer
CWA Director of Government Affairs
