John,
2020 was tough for everyone, but it would have been impossible for most Americans without federal and D.C. government workers showing up every day to serve and protect the American public from the COVID-19 pandemic – all while risking their own health and that of their families.
And that is not to mention the other challenges facing feds the last few years: Pay gaps and damage done to employees’ finances because of the government shutdowns and tiny adjustments that failed to keep up with inflation.
One of the easiest things Congress can do to show they value the outstanding work done by the federal workforce is to give a much deserved 3.2% pay raise in 2022.
AFGE supports the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act bills introduced in the House as H.R. 392 by Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and S. 561 in the Senate by Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI).
Contact your lawmakers NOW and ask them to cosponsor this important legislation.
NOW is the time to unite, mobilize and act!
In Solidarity,
AFGE
