AFGE Family,
As we enter the new year, one thing is for certain: your union isn’t backing down.
Our locals are signing up new members month after month, a testament to the power of collective organizing. Many of you are preparing to gather in D.C. next month to meet with your lawmakers and encourage them to support our legislative goals. And we are prepared to respond to any illegal directives or orders coming out of the incoming administration that target our members or the work you do.
You can read all about it in the latest edition of the Government Standard.
Here’s a look at our featured stories:
