AFGE Launches Nationwide Radio Show for Federal Employees
WASHINGTON—The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the nation’s largest federal workers’ union, launched a weekly nationwide radio/Internet program dedicated to issues that impact all federal employees. In launching “Inside Government” AFGE becomes one of the first unions and the only federal workers’ union to have a national broadcast program on the air.
“Inside Government” is a one-hour weekly radio/Internet program produced and owned solely by AFGE. The program debuted June 30 and can be heard Fridays at 10:00 a.m. EDT nationally on www.federalnewsradio.com or 1050 AM in the Washington, D.C., area.
