Dingell Stands with Federal Workers Against Executive Orders Degrading Union Rights
Washington, DC,
July 24, 2018
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) issued the following statement standing with American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) after President Trump issued three Executive Orders degrading the rights of federal workers to organize for better working conditions: “The attacks on unions and workers must stop. Throughout history, unions have stood up for better wages, safer workplaces, more secure retirements, and other benefits workers take for granted such as paid holidays. The President’s Executive Orders gut collective bargaining rights for federal workers and create an unjust workplace that ignores workers. I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters at AFGE in calling on the President to rescind these orders.” ### |
