Later that day, Beyer emphasized his support for labor rights in a tweet urging action against alleged illegal attacks on federal employees' rights by former President Donald Trump. He underscored, "Union membership is a driver for helping workers realize the American dream. I'm standing up for workers' rights with national leaders, and fighting back against Donald Trump's illegal attack on federal employees' collective bargaining rights.".
