Federal employees would keep their workplace bargaining rights and existing union agreements.
This bill would protect the workplace bargaining rights of federal employees. It would get rid of two Executive Orders that currently exclude some federal workers from labor-management programs. It would also make sure that existing union contracts for federal employees remain in full effect.
Currently, Executive Order 14251 and Executive Order 14343 are in effect, which relate to exclusions from federal labor-management relations programs. This means some federal employees might have limited bargaining rights, and existing collective bargaining agreements are subject to these orders. If this bill becomes law, these two Executive Orders would be nullified, meaning they would no longer apply. Federal funds would be blocked from being used to carry them out. Additionally, all collective bargaining agreements in effect as of March 26, 2025, would be fully protected through their stated terms.
