Great meeting with representatives from AFGE Local 1260, who represent the TSA officers that help keep Nevada travelers safe every day. I appreciated hearing directly about the issues facing their workforce and discussing ways we can better support the public servants who keep our airports running and our tourism economy strong. I'm proud to keep fighting for Nevada's federal workers in Congress. #UnionStrong

I’m proud to have the endorsement of the American Federation of Government Employees (@AFGENational).⁠ ⁠During my 25 years in federal service and as an AFGE member myself during my time at USCIS, I know the people behind these jobs and the role they play in serving Americans.

Grateful to have @AFGENational in my corner as we head into the final stretch of this critical election. Illinois is home to nearly 90,000 federal workers who provide essential services to the public, and I look forward to being a partner to them in Congress.

MAJOR WIN: A fed court ruled that OPM violated the law by giving Musk/DOGE access to sensitive personal data belonging to millions of current, former, & prospective federal employees. Proud to have brought this case on behalf of @AFGENational & AALJ democracydefendersfund.org/n…

Great to join with my sisters and brothers in the @AFGENational Employees Town Hall! President Trump has unlawfully abolished AFGE’s collective bargaining rights and wrongfully terminated EPA employees for speaking out against Trump’s harmful environmental policy changes (aka “doing their jobs”). Democrats on the @OversightDems and our Litigation Task Force stand with AFGE in this fight! afge238.org/news/epa-workers…

A collective bargaining agreement is a contract. The EPA can't just tear this up and ignore workers. As @AFGENational fights back in court, I'm standing with federal workers and their right to collectively bargain. news.bloomberglaw.com/enviro…

We started the day strong with remarks from the AFGE President Dr. Everett Kelley. He promised that federal employees in @AFGENational stand should to shoulder with postal workers in our fight to serve our communities. Our fights are one and the same!

In 1932, civil servants were up against wage cuts, furloughs & nonexistent benefits. 94 years ago on August 18th, these conditions inspired them to form @AFGENational. Despite the challenges, both old & new, AFGE has never stopped fighting for federal workers. Happy Founding Day!

My dad's union job made our American Dream possible. Today, I’m honored to receive the endorsements of CWA Florida and @AFGENational. As Senator, I will always fight to protect workers and strengthen unions.

Alaska's federal workers deserve lower costs, higher wages, and someone who'll actually fight for them. Proud to have earned @AFGENational's endorsement, and ready to go to bat with our unions to stand up for working families. afge.org/publication/largest…

NEW: Trump admin has been boasting of its rapid decrease to backlogged cases of veterans seeking disability benefits, but employees and advocates say the push is not serving vets. Staff are facing so much pressure that mistakes on claims are soaring, per data obtained by NOTUS

“We are UNSTOPPABLE!” Delegates were on their feet with a standing ovation for @AFGEPrezKelley, President of @AFGENational. Federal employees always have each other’s backs. 💪

The VA tried to rip up workers’ union contracts 3 times. All 3 times, @AFGENational fought back and won. This is another victory for America’s heroes. When VA workers have a contract and stronger voice, they can make sure veterans get the care they deserve. reuters.com/legal/government…

Another win for VA workers. Friday’s ruling from Judge DuBose makes clear that Secretary Collins must comply with the law & honor VA's Union Contract agreements with AFGE/NVAC. VA MUST restore union contracts for ALL VA employees & ALL protections that strengthen the workforce veterans depend on.
