Every August, members of Congress leave humid Washington, D.C. and return home for a district work period through Labor Day. It’s a critical time for them to have face time with constituents, hold town hall forums and field hearings, and campaign if it’s an election year.
As a constituent, this is a great opportunity for you to set up a meeting with them to discuss and seek their support for issues that are important to you as a federal employee and union member.
With all the attacks on your voice at work and our union, it’s important that they hear from you. You can set up a meeting with them in their office. You can invite them to visit your facility, so they see first-hand how important your work is to your community and the American people.

We ask you to ask your elected officials to get the House language enacted into law.
