December 2025: Kiggans Voted Against A Bipartisan Bill That Passed The House With 20 Republican Votes To Restore Federal Workers’ Unionization Rights

December 2025: Kiggans Voted Against A Bill To Nullify President Trump’s Executive Order Eliminating Collective Bargaining Rights For Federal Employees. In December 2025, Kiggans voted against: “Passage of the bill that would nullify a March 27, 2025, presidential executive order titled ‘Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs,’ which eliminated collective bargaining rights for the employees of dozens of federal departments and agencies. It also would provide that any collective bargaining agreement in effect as of March 26 ‘shall have full force and effect through the stated term’ of the agreement, thereby restoring any terminated agreements.” The bill passed by a vote of 231-195. [H.R. 2550, Vote #332, 12/11/25; CQ, 12/11/25]

• December 2025: Kiggans Voted Against Adoption Of The Rule Providing Consideration For Nullifying President Trump’s Executive Order Eliminating Collective Bargaining Rights For Federal Employees. In December 2025, Kiggans voted against: “Adoption of the rule providing for consideration of the Protect America's Workforce Act (HR 2550). The resolution would specify that immediately upon its adoption, the House would take up the bill. The resolution would waive all points of order against consideration of and provisions in the bill and would provide for one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee or their respective designees. It would provide for one motion to recommit. It would also limit the authority of the speaker to postpone further proceedings on the bill and would require the clerk to transmit the bill to the Senate within one week of its passage.” The bill was adopted by a vote of 234-194. [H.R. X, Vote #331, 12/11/25; CQ, 12/11/25]
• December 2025: 20 House Republicans Joined All Democrats To Pass A Bill Reversing Trump’s Executive Orders And Restoring Collective Bargaining Rights For Federal Workers. “The House on Thursday voted 231-195 to pass a bill that would restore collective bargaining rights for federal workers, a first step toward reversing the sweeping changes President Donald Trump enacted earlier this year. Twenty Republicans joined all Democrats to advance the Protect America’s Workforce Act. The legislation still needs to clear the Senate, where it will likely face an uphill battle garnering the necessary votes.” [Politico, 12/11/25]

November 2025: Kiggans Was Not Among Five Republicans To Sign A Discharge Petition To Bring The Bill To The Floor

November 2025: Kiggans Was Not Among Five House Republicans To Sign Dem. Rep. Jared Golden’s Discharge Petition To Bring The Bill Nullifying Trump’s Executive Order To The Floor. “A bipartisan bill by Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02) to repeal an executive order that stripped federal workers’ union rights is on track for a vote in the House after months of delay by Speaker Mike Johnson. The Protect America’s Workforce Act of 2025, which has enough cosponsors to indicate it would easily pass a floor vote, has languished since Golden introduced it with Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) in April. In June, Golden launched a discharge petition for the bill, which allows a majority of the House to force a vote on a piece of legislation if a majority of Congress signs it. Today, GOP Congressmen Nick LaLota (NY-01) and Mike Lawler (NY-17) signed the petition, bringing the total number of signatures to 218 — the number required to force House action. […] The bill would nullify President Trump’s March 27th Executive Order ending collective bargaining rights for roughly 1 million unionized federal employees across several agencies. Since Golden introduced the bipartisan bill in April, it has garnered bipartisan support from 222 members of Congress, including seven Republicans. Five of those Republicans — Reps. Fitzpatrick, LaLota, Lawler, Don Bacon (NE-02) and Robert Bresnahan (PA-08) — crossed the aisle to join House Democrats in signing the discharge petition.” [Rep. Jared Golden, Press Release, 11/17/25]
