Executive Orders 13836, 13837, and 13839 present adverse representational issues for eight of our metal trades councils: Tidewater, Portsmouth, Hawaii, Bremerton, Philadelphia, Indian Wells, Baltimore, and the Washington Area Metal Trades Council.
These orders systematically obstruct and impede our unions? ability to collectively bargain, they substantially restrict the use of official time, and they charge us for use of office space.
Under these orders, workers are now responsible for filing their own grievances and can only meet with their union before or after work and during lunch. And, we now have limited access and contact with workers on the base, yard or facility.
