Public shipyard workers would be protected from hiring freezes and layoffs in 2026.
This bill would stop the Department of Defense from cutting jobs or freezing hiring at public shipyards in the government's budget year 2026. This means federal civilian employees at these shipyards would be protected from layoffs or delays in filling open positions without a good reason.
Today, the Department of Defense can use its money to put a freeze on hiring, conduct layoffs, or delay filling open jobs at public shipyards. If this bill becomes law, for the government's budget year 2026, the Department of Defense would not be allowed to use its money to do any of these things without cause at a public shipyard.
