Protecting the collective bargaining rights of working people should never been a partisan issue. Thank you @RepBrianFitz

@AFGENational ✊

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Today, along with a group of my colleagues (@RepMikeLawler, @RepDonBacon, @RepMikeTurner, @RepLaLota, @RepGarbarino, @RepBresnahan, & Rep. Chris Smith), I called on President Trump to reconsider his Executive Order regarding collective bargaining rights of unionized federal workers.

We support efforts to improve government efficiency—but applying sweeping national security exemptions to agencies like SSA, FCC, GSA, and HHS risks doing more harm than good. These agencies are vital to public service. Undermining collective bargaining in these spaces weakens morale, accountability, and performance.

That’s why, alongside this letter, I introduced the Protect America’s Workforce Act with @RepGolden. This bipartisan bill restores a responsible, targeted approach—preserving bargaining rights and reinforcing the role that the worker’s voice plays in strengthening government.

We don’t have to choose between security and fairness. We can—and must—protect both.

Earlier in the year, @POTUS announced $1B in funding for critical repairs and replacement of the Blatnik Bridge. “This project will bring hundreds of thousands of work hours to members of Local 512 and increase the safety of our community members." - Keith Musolf IW LU 512

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

The Blatnik Bridge is a vital connection for Duluth, MN, & Superior, WI, often referred to as the “Twin Ports.” Now it’s finally getting urgently needed repairs.

Meet some of the people who count on this bridge every day.

[Iron Workers Union @TheIronworkers]

Today, @POTUS announced $5B in funding for major infrastructure projects. More than $1B of that funding will replace the Blatnik Bridge connecting Superior, WI, to Duluth, MN. A job #UNION IW's will have their hands on.

[IMPACT @IW_IMPACT]

It's long been assumed by many Americans that college-educated, "white-collar" workers make more money than the "blue-collar" workers. Data from Jobs 4 TN, shows that's not always the case. https://t.co/iHmswfu9nX
