119th Congress
A few Republicans are bucking President Donald Trump on bargaining rights for federal workers.
Five House Republicans have signed a discharge petition to force a vote on overturning a Trump administration order and restoring unionization rights for thousands of federal employees.

If any longtime reader of the Times-Tribune or its sister papers (Citizens’ Voice, Standard-Speaker, and Republican Herald) reads their most recent editorial on the government shutdown, you might be left feeling a little confused (“Now, not later, is best time to address ACA tax credit,” Oct. 26).
