H. R. 8426 is a bill that helps workers who work for the government, like teachers and firefighters, join together in groups called unions so they can talk about their jobs and make sure they are treated fairly. It also makes sure that the important jobs that keep us safe, like police and hospital workers, keep running smoothly without any strikes stopping them.

The bill wants to make sure that people who work for the government, like teachers and firefighters, can join groups to talk together about their jobs and pay. It also says that these workers can't stop working if it would make important things, like safety services, not work properly.
