Dear AFGE Member,

The Trump administration just launched a direct attack on our union.

A new Executive Order illegally strips collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal workers. OPM followed with a memo telling agencies to end union rights, shut down grievance procedures, take away your union representation, and rip up your union contract.

To see if your agency is impacted, keep reading.

Let’s be clear. National security is not the reason for this action. This is retaliation because our union is standing up for AFGE members—and a warning to every union: fall in line, or else.

AFGE is not going anywhere. We are fighting back. We are preparing legal action. But we need every member to act now:

Convert to E-Dues RIGHT NOW!  

Payroll dues deduction is on the chopping block. Without our dues, our union cannot continue to fight for you. E-Dues is our secure, union-run system that they can’t take away.

AFGE isn’t going anywhere. But we need every one of us in the fight. Convert to E-Dues now!

In solidarity,

Everett Kelley

National President, AFGE
