🚨 We’re calling on all Members of Congress to sign @RepGolden’s discharge petition to force a vote on overturning Trump’s illegal EO stripping 1 million federal workers of their collective bargaining rights. If you stand with workers, now is the time to prove it.

America didn’t vote to gut workers rights. Today I stood with @RepJeffries, the @AFLCIO and members of the @Labor_Caucus and @USProgressives to urge my colleagues in Congress to force a vote on my bill to overturn Trump’s union-busting executive order.
