I will be fighting nonstop for my legislation in this year’s NDAA to roll back President Trump’s executive order and to restore and protect our federal workforce’s right to collectively bargain.
File and fight for Protect America's Workforce Act language in the FY2027 NDAA to roll back President Trump's executive order and restore and protect federal workers' collective bargaining rights.
Occurrences
Evidence
OPM advised covered agencies to "proceed to terminate or modify CBAs" under Executive Orders 14251 and 14343 and to report CBA status monthly until notices are executed.
Executive Order 14251 was published as 90 FR 14553, signed March 27, 2025, and determined Chapter 71 could not apply to listed agencies consistent with national security considerations.
Executive Order 14343 further amended EO 12171 and added exclusions including parts of Commerce, NOAA, NASA, and the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
AP reported the House passed a bill 231-195 to restore federal workers' bargaining rights, but it "still needs Senate approval to become law."
AP reported Treasury terminated IRS and Bureau of the Fiscal Service union contracts using Trump's March 2025 executive order as authority.
Assessments
The evidence shows the Trump executive-order regime remained in force through the assessment date of July 8, 2026, with OPM implementation guidance, later exclusions, and agency contract terminations. A House bill to restore bargaining rights passed in December 2025, but it still required Senate approval and was not enacted. The record provided does not show Schumer filing, sponsoring, or materially advancing Protect America's Workforce Act language in the FY2027 NDAA, nor does it show restoration of federal workers' collective bargaining rights. Because the FY2027 NDAA process may still be ongoing, the promise is best treated as unresolved rather than a final failure.
