Text "AFGE" to 225568 and start receiving text alerts to the attacks on federal government employees by Congress to cut their pay and benefits all why passing tax cuts to the top 1% and corporations. Federal employees have already contributed over $159 Billion in deficit reductions with reduced and frozen pay over the last 6 years.
Enough is enough, and we need to demand that Congress stop using federal employees as the easy target.
Call, write and visit your Congressional representative and tell them "Hell No" to any further cuts on our pay and benefits.
Have you heard, your representative will be voting on The "Federal Adjustment of Income Rates" or "Fair Act" that was introduced to the committee on Oversight & Government Reform on 1/13/8015.
H.R.BILL 304: To increase the rates of pay under the statutory pay systems and for prevailing rate employees by 3.8% for other purposes.
Let your representative know if you support a 3.8% pay raise for Federal Employees by calling AFGE Legislative Hotline: (1-844-913-7574).

I Need A Union Representative!

Amendment Targets Official Time
Employees who are union representatives use official time to help address labor-management issues, and to aid employees in cases of alleged discrimination or retaliation, and disciplinary actions. Critics charge that official time is too expensive, while labor groups maintain that it saves time and money by avoiding litigation and time-consuming procedural avenues for settling disputes.
"Federal unions are legally required to provide full representation to all members of a bargaining unit, whether or not the worker elects to pay voluntary union dues," Junemann wrote. "In exchange for being forced to provide representation to dues payers and non-dues payers alike, the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 permits federal unions to bargain official time arrangements to the mutual benefit of labor and management."
Share Your Recipe!

In honor of this summer’s 40th National Convention, AFGE is collecting a special-edition online cookbook of member-submitted recipes. This is a fun, new project to show off our union’s cooking skills and swap recipes in solidarity.
These should be “tried and true” recipes that any home cook can follow. We would like to showcase the online cookbook for all members at our upcoming 40th National Convention and beyond.
Recipes should include: your name, your local number and district, your recipe’s name, and easy step-by-step ingredients and directions. We would also like you to submit a picture of yourself preparing the meal or a head shot of yourself in order to have a visual aid in the cookbook. A picture of the competed dish is also acceptable.
