WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) and Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) released the following statement after the U.S. Army announced the cancellation of collective bargaining agreements with the American Federation of Government Employees:

“The workers who support our armed forces should have the right to join a union and collectively bargain for fair wages and working conditions.
