The US House of Representatives approved the "Federal Workforce Act" by a 231-195 vote, reversing Donald Trump’s executive orders that had stripped over one million federal workers of their collective bargaining rights.Jared Golden, along with Brian Fitzpatrick, led the bipartisan effort to pass the bill, which gained support from 20 Republicans and was forced to a floor vote via a rare discharge petition after Mike Johnson's initial resistance.Despite its success in the House, the legislation is unlikely to advance in the Republican-controlled Senate, underscoring ongoing political divisions regarding federal labor protections.
