Arthur B. Johnson is the founding father of AFGE Local 1336 and has not missed even one AFGE convention since founding of AFGE Local 1336 in 1951.
AFGE Local 1336 was chartered as a lodge in 1951 and became the exclusive representative of our SSA bargaining unit in 1963.
While the local is considered a Payment Center Local as it’s based out of an SSA Payment Center (Council 109), it represents employees in five states and the four SSA councils. That’s 3 AFGE Regions and 2 SSA Regions.
But who we are and where we are today is simple: Arthur B. Johnson blazed the trail that has become AFGE Local 1336.
