Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director John Berry, who recently spoke at the American Federation of Government Employees’ (AFGE) 38th Triennial National Convention, will appear this week on AFGE’s “Inside Government” radio show.

Berry will address OPM’s investment in human capital, the use of new technologies, and AFGE’s important role representing federal workers. Berry also will highlight OPM’s recruitment and retention strategies to attract the best and brightest to the federal government.

Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) General Counsel Julia Clark, who also spoke at AFGE’s convention, then will update listeners on her goals at FLRA – from eliminating the case backlog to restoring guidance and training materials.

Listeners also will learn about the latest AFGE membership benefits from AFGE National Benefits Coordinator Mark Williams and Union Sportsmen’s Alliance Mid-West Coordinator Jim Klatt. Williams will detail a number of new benefits, including the Eldercare and Van Pool programs. Klatt then will detail the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance benefit, which combines union brotherhood with the great outdoors.
