Join NTEU by asking your Senator, stand up for federal employees and the services they provide the American people by speaking out against this administration’s all-out assault on the nonpartisan career civil service. This administration’s actions to eliminate the bargaining rights of over a million federal workers is a major escalation on the assault on working people. This is yet another example of how this administration continues to ignore the role of Congress and consolidate power in the executive branch. This administration has already taken action to fire of thousands of employees, create a hostile workplace and eliminate agencies and programs that provide essential services to the American people. This needs to stop! NTEU Legislative Action Center.
