Federal unions have since brought challenges to union enforcement of those orders in renegotiating collective bargaining agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are fighting for equal rights, fair pay and, for me, environmental protection,\u201d said Gary Morton, president of AFGE council 238. \u201cThe EPA has life-saving regulations, not job-killing regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees at the Environmental Protection Agency went so far as to establish a bill of rights to outline what they aim to fight for in their collective bargaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a campaign that we\u2019ve launched to support EPA bargaining. Because senators and congresspeople got together and wrote letters in October and November of 2019 for EPA, the administration was willing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2019\/12\/05\/epa-returns-to-the-bargaining-table-after-harsh-criticism\/\" target=\"_blank\">come back to the bargaining table<\/a>,\u201d said Joyce Howell, vice president of AFGE local 3631.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we\u2019ve found is that congressional oversight influences this administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like its namesake, the EPA workers\u2019 bill of rights sets down 10 provisions that state EPA employees should have the right to: scientific integrity; enforce environmental laws; full budgets and staffing levels; an end of lockouts due to government shutdowns; to pursue climate research and solutions; receive whistleblower protections; a sustainable work-life balance; a fair collective bargaining contract; a hate free and safe workplace; and to work without fear of reprisal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a real sense of grief with my colleagues, because they\u2019re seeing the work they\u2019ve dedicated their lives to disappear before their eyes,&#8221; said Howell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attendees also stood in opposition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/budget\/2020\/02\/10\/white-house-budget-doubles-down-on-reorgs-and-benefit-cuts\/\" target=_blank>White House\u2019s recently proposed budget<\/a>, which would offer feds a one percent pay raise while also requiring them to contribute more to their retirement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the American
