Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 2550, Protect America's Workforce Act.

Earlier this year, an executive order changed the collective bargaining status of tens of thousands of Federal workers. These are career public servants, many of them veterans, who show up every single day to serve our country. Every American deserves a voice in the workplace, and that includes the people who keep our government running and open.

Ensuring collective bargaining rights strengthens our Federal workforce and helps deliver more effective, accountable service to the American people. We must ensure that collective bargaining agreements already in place remain, as well as ensuring that good government goes hand in hand with that.

Mr. Speaker, I was proud to join colleagues across the aisle as being the 218th signature to advance this bill forward.

I thank Congressmen Fitzpatrick and Golden for leading this effort, as well as my fellow Congressmen here, Mr. Bresnahan, as well as Congressman LaLota, for their leadership on this front.
