~ 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.

According to the council, workers' rights are fundamental to a fair and just society. When these rights are threatened, it not only affects the workers but also impacts the entire community. Strong unions play a crucial role in building strong communities by ensuring fair wages, workplace protections, and providing a voice for those who serve the public.
The city of Tacoma prides itself on valuing and respecting the contributions of working people. The council has vowed to continue supporting labor rights and standing against any effort to silence workers. They call on leaders at all levels to reject policies that undermine the labor movement and instead focus on strengthening the workforce that serves our nation.
As this issue continues to unfold at a national level, the Tacoma City Council remains committed to protecting workers' rights and advocating for fair treatment of all employees.
