ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today released the following statement regarding President Trump's executive order ending federal workers' collective bargaining rights.
“Maryland will always have the backs of working people and organized labor. And amid the draconian federal cuts impacting public servants across our state, our partnership with organized labor has become more important than ever. In Maryland, we will continue to fight to protect collective bargaining rights, ensure fair wages and benefits, and secure better working conditions for all Marylanders.
At a time when people are asking if government can work for them, the Trump-Vance Administration has stood firmly in aggressive opposition to the very people who deliver the results. These continued attacks on the federal workforce have already led to countless jobs lost, countless lives disrupted, and a drastic hit to Maryland’s economy. The Trump-Vance Administration continues to take direct shots at our people and our economic momentum; we will not stand by and take it.
We will continue to be Maryland Strong because we will continue to be Union Strong. We are mobilizing to ensure that displaced federal workers have a home in our state—where they will always be recognized and rewarded fairly for the work they do in service of our citizens.”
