Lawmakers Vow to Protect Federal Employees’ Voice at Work, Missions

Lawmakers Vow to Protect Federal Employees’ Voice at Work, Missions

February 24, 2020

Categories: The Insider

If you missed our union’s 2020 legislative conference and the remarks by members of Congress who graced AFGE members with their presence, don’t sweat it – we’ve got you covered.

Here are the highlights from the conference:

Nancy Pelosi

They want to privatize everything so they can make money off of it and that they don’t have to honor any commitments to diversity or fairness in the workplace.”

Susan Collins

Gerry Connolly

Jennifer Wexton

Eleanor Holmes Norton

Jamie Raskin

And it all goes back to the first amendment of the Constitution which protects the right of the freedom of speech, the right of the freedom of assembly, and the right to petition government for a redress of grievances.”

Mark Takano

From shutdowns to executive orders, President Trump has time and time again threatened the livelihoods and rolled back your ability to collectively bargain. We cannot let him get away with these attacks on your right to organize.”

Steny Hoyer
