Bill Summary — H.R. 152 (Resolution opposing further actions to strip federal workers’ rights)

Status: Referred to Committee on Government Operations (introduced September 2, 2025)
Classification: House resolution (non‑binding)

Main purpose / intent

H.R. 152 is a non‑binding House resolution that publicly opposes “any further action by the Trump administration to eliminate the livelihoods of federal workers without just cause and take away their right to organize and collectively bargain.” Its intent is to register the legislative body’s formal disapproval of recent federal personnel actions described in the resolution and to demand that the Executive Branch cease further steps that would remove job protections or collective‑bargaining rights for federal employees.

Key provisions

  • States opposition to any additional actions by the Trump administration that would:
    • Remove federal employees’ livelihoods without just cause, adequate notice, or performance‑related reasoning; and
    • Eliminate or outlaw collective bargaining or the right of federal employees to organize.
  • Asserts that protections against firing without just cause serve both employees and the public interest by guarding against abusive government action.
  • Notes (attribution to the resolution) that on March 27, 2025, an executive order was issued that the resolution characterizes as outlawing collective bargaining for nearly a million federal workers by invoking a national‑security provision.
  • Directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States and the state’s congressional delegation.

Who is affected

  • Primary subject: federal government employees (the resolution cites “nearly a million” workers impacted by the referenced executive order).
  • Secondary audiences: the Executive Branch (as the target of the opposition), the President (recipient of a copy), and members of the congressional delegation (also to receive copies).

Sponsors and related measures

  • Multiple primary sponsors and cosponsors are listed across the document (examples: Mike Ezell; John LaHood; John Corbett; Dexter Sharper; James Burchett; Sonya M. Harper; Timothy P. Kerner) along with numerous cosponsors (see official bill text for full list).
  • Related/companion measures: H.R. 4669 and H.C.R. 157 (listed as companions).

Procedural / timeline notes and caveats

  • Official status reported here: introduced Sept. 2, 2025 and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
  • The provided document also contains text and procedural entries that appear to reference other resolutions and legislative actions from various jurisdictions (e.g., observance resolutions, state‑level measures). Those mixed entries suggest the posted record includes multiple, different items sharing the same bill number; consult the official Congressional Record or the House Clerk’s website for the authoritative status and full text of this specific H.R. 152.
  • As a House resolution, this measure is non‑binding and expresses the sense of the House; it does not change law or create enforceable rights.
