AFGE welcomed 4,070 federal and D.C. government employees to the AFGE family in June!
Each month, we organize thousands of new members, but thousands also retire, leave federal service, exit bargaining unit positions, or otherwise resign their membership. Our net gain in June was 189.
AFGE locals and districts continued to do a great job organizing new members. In June, eight districts registered a net gain in membership with District 7 receiving the largest net gain.
AFGE has also been trying to organize young workers and retirees to serve as mentors. In June, the number of YOUNG members continued to go up from 51,358 the previous month to 51,946.
The number of retiree members, however, dipped slightly to 15,671 from 15,737.
