GOP Senators Murkowski and Collins Back Effort to Overturn Trump Executive Order
The Protect America’s Workforce Act, aimed at repealing former President Trump’s Executive Order 14251 restricting union rights in federal agencies, gained momentum with the backing of Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins. The House of Representatives previously passed the bill with support from a bipartisan group, including 22 Republicans, with the legislation now facing a vote in the Senate. The executive order curtailed collective bargaining rights, sparking debate over worker protections and agency efficiency. While the House version succeeded, it’s uncertain whether the Senate will be able to garner enough support for the measure.
