Mr. BELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2550, the Protect America's Workforce Act.

Mr. Speaker, we all count on a Federal workforce that shows up every day to serve, not to bend to political pressure or wonder if speaking up will cost them their jobs.

That is exactly the risk if collective bargaining rights are wiped out. It pushes aside a system that has been built over generations to protect workers, protect taxpayers, and keep politics out of public service.

Taking away the voice of Federal workers doesn't make government stronger. It makes it easier for retaliation, harder for whistleblowers, and worse for the people who we represent.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to do right by the people who serve our country every day by restoring basic fairness and bringing us back to a system that has worked under both parties for decades.
