Hoyer criticizes proposed pay freeze: Congressman Steny Hoyer spoke at a press conference with members of the Federal Workforce Caucus and federal employee union leaders about President Donald Trump’s proposed 2027 pay freeze.

Arguments on federal compensation: Hoyer said federal pay should remain comparable with private-sector jobs to help recruit and retain workers. He described the freeze as part of a broader pattern affecting Americans’ costs and said federal employees are also consumers facing higher prices for food, gas, housing and health care.
Call for congressional support: He thanked fellow lawmakers and unions for backing federal workers and urged people to tell their representatives and the president to support government employees. The remarks were delivered at an event focused on the issue of federal employee pay.
