As some of you may know, the current funding of the federal government is set to expire on September 30th. AFGE is actively monitoring the situation and working with members of Congress to avoid another shutdown, as well as strongly urging lawmakers to oppose any budget that would negatively impact federal employee wages and benefits.
Senator Ben Cardin (MD) is introducing the Federal Employees Fair Treatment Act of 2015 (FEFTA), which will ensure that all government employees receive guaranteed back pay for their work in the event of any future government shutdown, and to allow employees with scheduled leave during a shutdown to take that leave.
If there is a government shutdown, or if Congress moves forward with a budget proposal that harms workers like you, we will let you know immediately what AFGE is doing to stop it.
Take action on the Budget: Take Action
In solidarity,

In honor of this summer’s 40th National Convention, AFGE is collecting a special-edition online cookbook of member-submitted recipes. This is a fun, new project to show off our union’s cooking skills and swap recipes in solidarity.
These should be “tried and true” recipes that any home cook can follow. We would like to showcase the online cookbook for all members at our upcoming 40th National Convention and beyond.
Recipes should include: your name, your local number and district, your recipe’s name, and easy step-by-step ingredients and directions. We would also like you to submit a picture of yourself preparing the meal or a head shot of yourself in order to have a visual aid in the cookbook. A picture of the competed dish is also acceptable.
