Sen. Hirono to Reintroduce ‘Freedom to Negotiate Act,’ Protects Rights for Workers to Join Unions

As seen on Hawaii News Now:

Hawaii U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono is hoping to bring collective bargaining rights to the federal workforce and other public sector employees.

On Tuesday, Hirono will reintroduce the Freedom to Negotiate Act at a press conference alongside New Jersey Rep. Donald Norcross.

The new act aims to guarantee the right of public sector employees to organize, act concertedly, and bargain collectively in states that currently do not afford these basic protection.
