~ In a recent executive order, federal employees have been stripped of their collective bargaining rights, sparking outrage and concern among workers and government officials alike. The Tacoma City Council has released a statement in solidarity with the Pierce County Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, denouncing this action as a direct attack on hardworking public servants.
The council members, led by Maria Lee, the Media and Communications representative, have expressed their strong support for workers affected by this decision. They believe that dismantling collective bargaining under the guise of national security will only weaken the nation rather than strengthen it.
