A statement from CWA President Claude Cummings Jr.

The assault on Sen. Alex Padilla is an escalation of the Trump administration’s attempts to forcibly silence anyone who questions their actions. We all have a right and an obligation to speak up if something is wrong.

NEW: We're asking a federal court to force the Social Security Administration to hand over any records they have on DOGE's secretive attempts to access our personal information.

We have a right to know what the government is doing with our data.

DOGE gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health will have devastating and irreversible effects on workers’ lives.

All workers deserve to go home at the workday end of the day safe and healthy. Without NISOH, that will be less likely.

This week is Community Safety Week on Capitol Hill.

We’re in DC all week with our partners to demand Congress invests in prevention, not punishment. We need common-sense safety solutions that advance justice for all.

We stand with The Hill Guild. Read their statement below:

Eliminating the collective bargaining rights of hundreds of thousands of federal workers? That’s union-busting.

Call Congress and tell them to support the bipartisan bill to restore their rights, the Protect America’s Workforce Act!
