Stop Trump’s Hiring Freeze for Federal Workers

Some members of Congress aren’t wasting any time.

They’re coming for your job. They’ve already introduced bills to silence you in the workplace by chipping away at your workplace rights. And, they have stacked the deck to make it easier for managers to fire you. It may seem like a lot, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Now, President Trump has joined them too. He just signed an executive order that stops federal agencies from hiring new employees.

This hiring freeze won’t make government more efficient. It will add to your already heavy workload. It will block working people who served in the military from accessing the largest employer of veterans in the country. And instead of saving taxpayers money, it will cost millions in contractor fees when our jobs are outsourced to private corporations.

We must act NOW. Please click here and take 5 minutes to write to your member of Congress. Tell them to stand up for workers like us, and defend our jobs. Our communities depend on the services that we provide.

We can’t let Congress or President Trump put that in jeopardy.
