Congressional Discussion on Trump's Executive Order Affecting Union Rights

Published | Video Starts at 03:30

CDC employees that are protecting us from the next pandemic can be fired without the security of a collective bargaining agreement. Justice Department lawyers prosecuting things like health care fraud can lose their jobs because they're not Trump's political lackeys, but they've lost protections and collective bargaining. These are real impacts, and we should be talking about them. So my question, Mr. Chairman, is whether we can hold a hearing on President Trump's executive order to strip bargaining rights away from 1.5 million Americans. (03:30–03:41)
