AFGE Family,

The EEOC has an important civil rights mission and with this role it should be promoting robust enforcement not making access harder for those who are vulnerable. EEOC is proposing a regulation that would prohibit the use of official time/paid duty time by a union representative in the context of an EEO claim. With our entire nation examining racial injustice, this is exactly the wrong time for EEOC to make it harder to bring forth a claim of discrimination.

Due to COVID-19, federal employees critically need the assistance of their union reps when it comes to reasonable accommodation of disabilities that make them more vulnerable to COVID-19. Likewise, COVID-19 may raise issues for those in the protected age group or pose discriminatory treatment based on national origin.

This is union-busting – a blatant attempt to delegitimize our union and take away our ability to represent our members.

In Solidarity,

AFGE
