Issue Harris-Walz Trump-Vance
Union & Labor
Rights
The Harris-Walz campaign strongly supports
labor rights.
As Vice President, Harris served as chair of the
White House Task Force on Worker Organizing
and Empowerment. She has a strong record
of suppor ng federal workers, walked union
picket lines, and cast numerous e-breaking
votes in the Senate to support workers.
Governor Walz is a former public-school
teacher, decorated veteran, and proud union
member, and he has a 93% AFL-CIO vo ng
record. He addressed union members during
his first solo campaign rally.
Former President Trump repeatedly took
ac ons that undermined and a acked labor
rights.
Senator Vance has a 0% AFL-CIO vo ng record
and opposed NATCA on two out of three key
votes iden fied by the Na onal Legisla ve
Commi ee.
The "Project 2025" agenda (see separate
sec on below) authored by former officials in
the Trump Administra on calls for decima ng
federal sector unions:
Banning unions for public service workers
(page 82).
Le ng management decer fy unions
mid-contract (page 603).
Execu ve Orders
Regarding Public
Sector Unions
The Biden-Harris Administra on repealed
three Trump Administra on an -worker,
an -union Execu ve Orders (EOs) on their
second day in office.
The Trump Administra on issued three EOs
targe ng federal labor unions, making it
harder for workers to exercise their collec ve
bargaining rights and u lize official me:
Reduced the me allowed to nego ate
a collec ve bargaining agreement and
reduced the costs contained within them
(EO 13836).
Restricted agencies from nego a ng any
permissive subjects, including staffing (e.g.
targets for PPT, shi guidelines, etc.), tours
of duty (e.g. hours of the day), technology
for performing work, and bargaining below
the na onal level (EO 13836).
Reduced the use of union "official me"
that allows union representa ves to per-
form representa onal du es including filing
and advoca ng for grievances and engaging
in bargaining (EO 13837).
Expedited the process for removing federal
employees in performance-based adverse
ac ons (EO 13839).
Project 2025 calls for the reinstatement of
these three Trump execu ve orders (pages
81-82).
