Like all workers in this country, federal employees are experiencing higher costs for housing, food, medical insurance, and other necessities due to wages that have not kept pace with inflation for decades.
But unlike other employees, federal workers depend on Congress for their annual pay raises – and these adjustments in recent years have fallen short.
That’s why we are excited that the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act has been reintroduced in the House by Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia and in the Senate by Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii. The bill would provide federal employees with a 5.1% pay raise in 2023.
Here are 3 main reasons why we support the bill:
Passing this legislation will show federal workers how much they are valued and respected for the work they do, the hardships they have endured, and their steadfast commitment to the American people.
Our union looks forward to working with Congress to ensure passage of the FAIR Act this year.
