This bill would cancel two executive orders that restricted federal employees' ability to participate in labor unions and collective bargaining. Specifically, it targets Executive Order 14251 and Executive Order 14343, which had limited which federal workers could join unions or have their unions represent them in workplace matters.

The bill does two main things: First, it declares these executive orders null and void, meaning they can't be enforced anymore, and it prevents the government from spending any money to carry them out. Second, it protects existing union contracts between federal agencies and labor organizations that were in place as of March 26, 2025, ensuring those agreements remain valid through their stated end dates.

In practical terms, this would restore collective bargaining rights to federal employees who may have lost them under those executive orders. Federal workers covered by union contracts would keep those protections, and other eligible federal employees would regain the ability to form or join unions and negotiate workplace conditions through their union representatives.

Warner, Mark R.

Protect America's Workforce ActThis bill nullifies two executive orders: Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs (issued on March 27, 2025) and Further Exclusions From the Federal Labor- Management Relations Program (issued on August 28, 2025).&nbsp;The executive orders exclude specified executive branch&nbsp;agencies and subdivisions from the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and the&nbsp;Foreign Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. The statutes authorize federal employees' participation in collective bargaining and enforce collective bargaining rights.&nbsp;The bill also&nbsp;specifies that a&nbsp;collective&nbsp;bargaining agreement that is&nbsp;in place as of March 26, 2025, and is between an executive branch agency and any labor organization that is an exclusive representative of federal employees, shall have full force and effect through the stated term of the agreement.
