At 1,000+ events across the country during Workers’ Labor Day weekend, America’s unions and working people are standing up and fighting for an economy that works for us, not billionaires and CEOs.

Workers built this country, and now, we’re taking it back.

This Executive Order denies NASA employees, among many others, the right to collectively bargain.

This includes the roughly 1,200 engineers and scientists we represent at MSFC and MAF.

For reference, most NASA unions formed in response to the post-Apollo Reductions In Force of the early 1970s.
And with this, the union contract that I and the rest of our negotiations team worked for years to overhaul and modernize has been unilaterally revoked because our Agency is somehow "intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security" in nature
