The Trump Administration’s move to strip 700k federal workers of their union rights is an egregious act of union-busting. We commend Rep. Jared Golden and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for standing up for workers' rights by introducing a bill to reverse this attack on America's public servants.

We applaud Senators Warner & Tillis for reintroducing the Performing Artist Tax Parity Act in the Senate. This bipartisan bill brings us closer to tax fairness for entertainment workers. It’s time to update the deduction for work tools and support our industry’s middle class.
