AFGE Statement on FLRA Proposed Policy Revoking Federal Employees’ Union Dues Assignments
WASHINGTON – American Federation of Government Employees National President J. David Cox Sr. today issued the following statement on a proposed rule from the Federal Labor Relations Authority published today in the Federal Register:
“The Trump administration’s request for the Federal Labor Relations Authority to overturn decades of precedent is part of an all-out assault on federal employees’ collective bargaining rights. They are throwing out our contracts, enforcing illegal executive orders, and now trying to make it harder for workers to join and stay in the union. Their ultimate goal is to destroy federal sector unions, and we will do everything in our ability to prevent that from happening.”
