H.R. 2550: Protect America's Workforce Act

The Protect America's Workforce Act is a bill introduced in the House of Representatives that aims to overturn a specific executive order issued on March 27, 2025. The executive order in question pertains to exclusions from federal labor-management relations programs. Here are the key points of what the bill would do:

1. Nullification of Executive Order

The bill states that the executive order titled "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs" will have no legal effect. This means that the procedures or policies established by that executive order cannot be enforced or require federal funds to be used for its implementation.

2. Preservation of Collective Bargaining Agreements

Any existing collective bargaining agreements that were in effect as of March 26, 2025, between executive branch federal agencies and labor organizations representing federal employees will remain valid and must be honored through the duration specified in each agreement. This ensures that the rights and terms negotiated in those contracts will continue to be recognized even if the executive order is nullified.

3. Effect on Federal Labor Relations

Overall, the bill seeks to protect the existing rights of federal employees related to labor negotiations and ensure that any agreements in place continue to be effective. This contrasts with the executive order, which may have aimed to limit the scope of collective bargaining rights or change existing protocols for labor relations within federal agencies.
