 Jan. 21, 2026 | LEGISLATIVE | Hundreds of federal employees, union members, and other workforce advocates gathered in front of the U.S. Capitol [last week] to urge the passage of legislation that would restore their collective bargaining rights.

The bill, if enacted, would restore collective bargaining for an estimated two-thirds of the federal workforce. In effect, it would reverse two executive orders President Donald Trump signed last year that called on most executive branch agencies to terminate their federal union contracts on the grounds of “national security.” Maryland Matters
