Now is an important time to be an AFGE member, and we're not alone in thinking so!
At the end of January, AFGE welcomed 1,138 new members to our union family. That puts us at 311,180 members, another record high!
With every new member at AFGE, our voice gets louder and we strengthen our position at the negotiating table – whether that table's in Congress, at the White House, in our communities, or at the agency you work at.
“This is a continued testament to the growing strength of our movement,” said AFGE President J. David Cox Sr. “I am so grateful to each and every one of you for helping to grow AFGE and help our membership every day."
If you’re not, join now. If you are already a member, ask your co-workers to join AFGE now.
