HR-6793 : Still Just a Bill


The Public Shipyard Workforce Protection Act of 2025 aims to prevent certain workforce actions at public shipyards. Specifically, for fiscal year 2026, this bill prohibits the Department of Defense from using authorized or made available funds to:

  • Carry out a hiring freeze at a public shipyard.
  • Execute a reduction in force (RIF) at a public shipyard.
  • Delay without cause the filling of a vacant Federal civilian employee position at a public shipyard.

This legislation seeks to safeguard the workforce at public shipyards by restricting these actions.
