AFGE Expands Coverage to Europe
In response to requests from federal employees stationed overseas who lack union representation, AFGE has launched a new local to cover all currently unrepresented federal employees in Europe.
This new at-large local will serve federal employees throughout Europe working for any federal agency and under the General Schedule, Wage Grade, or Non-Appropriated Fund pay systems.
There are more than 10,000 employees currently working in Europe who are eligible to join AFGE today. Most work for the Defense Department at military hospitals, child care centers, commissaries and exchanges, as firefighters, and in combat support and logistics.
