(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - There’s another big reason, left unmentioned until near the end of a mass rally of Unionists in Washington, D.C. last week to push Senators to undo Right-Wing GOP President Donald Trump’s wreckage of Union contracts covering 1.5 million Workers.

What Trump did to them, especially to their Constitutional Rights to free speech and their legal right to organize, he could do to you.

That’s what Randy Erwin, the President of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) said at the Capitol Hill rally to urge Workers and the country to lobby for Senate passage of the Protect America’s Workforce Act (PAWA).

After a long and successful National AFL-CIO-led campaign, the Republican-run House passed the PAWA in December after Unions led a mass mobilization - nationwide.

It pressured enough Republicans there to defy party leaders and join all the Democrats and vote for it.

Now, the Federation has turned to the Senate, with a toll-free number 844-994-4554 for people to call to lobby their senators.

But that wasn’t Erwin’s sole top reason why the PAWA should pass.

The U.S. Constitution’s survival is.

“We are in a dangerous place if the President thinks it is at his discretion to decide what rights Americans have - and what rights they do not,” the NFFE Leader warned. 

“The right to bargain is a First Amendment Constitutional Right,” and Trump and his Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, a notorious opponent of bargaining rights for Federal Workers, took it away.

“Where will it all end?,” Irwin asked the crowd of hundreds of Unionists and their supporters. “What are we left with? Temporary, conditional privileges?”

“I’ll be damned if I’m going to let one man take away rights,” not just from Federal Workers, but from every family, child, and grandchild in the U.S., he declared.
