Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Propose: End Work-From-Home for Federal Employees to Trim Government Fat
FUTURE OF TELEWORK FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
November 21st, 2024 | Posted by in Did you know? | TeleWork - (0 Comments) AFGE Family,
Let’s get one thing clear from the outset: 2024 is not ending the way many of us hoped it would. But the uncertainty over a change in presidential administrations does not take away from the incredible accomplishments we delivered for federal and D.C. government workers over the past year.
From record organizing growth to new rights and protections for many of the employees we represent, AFGE members had a lot to celebrate this year – and we’re looking back at our top 10 victories in this latest edition of the Government Standard.
Here’s a look at our featured stories:
Top 10 Victories for AFGE in 2024
AFGE continued to secure significant victories this year that have improved the lives of all government employees and their families, as we used our collective voice to speak out against unjust policies and proposals.
Post-Election, AFGE’s Focus Remains on Representing Members
The election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States and the leadership changes in Congress bring with it a lot of uncertainty – for our jobs, our workplace rights, and our individual freedoms. But what’s not uncertain is the commitment of our members, and all federal and D.C. government employees, to continue working on behalf of all Americans.
AFGE Mobilizes Members to Help Elect Pro-Worker Candidates
For months leading up to Election Day, AFGE members across the country knocked on doors and phone banked to get out the union vote for Kamala Harris and pro-worker candidates. AFGE members at all levels were involved in outreach for the 2024 elections, given the stakes for the future of our union and the entire labor movement.
AFGE Made Organizing History in 2024, and We’re Just Getting Started.
AFGE reached our goal of organizing 300,000 members just two months into the year, and we’re well on our way to reaching our newest goal of 325,000 members by 2025.
OR NOT!
There’s nothing worse than trying to reach out to one of your family members or friends, but realizing you don’t have their current email, phone, or mailing address. When it comes to our union family, having accurate contact information is just as important.
That’s why AFGE members voted at the 2015 National Convention to make January “Data Update Month.”
To kickoff 2025, we’re asking every member of the AFGE family to take a couple minutes to update their contact information so we can mobilize members and spring into action when the time comes.

October 26th, 2024 | Posted by in Did you know? | ELECTIONS | PHONEBANKS | Uncategorized - (0 Comments) Dear AFGE Activist,
The 2024 election is less than two weeks away and there is so much at stake!
AFGE members, our families, and our communities are up against a lot. Rising inflation and economic inequality are making it harder for us to make ends meet. Attacks on voting rights are making it harder to ensure our voices are heard. Recent efforts across the country to roll back reproductive rights are jeopardizing women’s health and compromising their futures. Project 2025 threatens to roll back the very existence of public sector unions. The list goes on.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed at the challenges we face. But we know that together we have the power to change things. In that spirit, WFP, AFGE Y.O.U.N.G. is coming together on Monday, October 28 starting at 7:00 pm (EST) to help turn voters out to the polls. We’ll be working together to reach out to voters in a key battleground swing states.
Register here to join our virtual phone bank on Oct. 28 from 7-9pm EST.

In Solidarity,
AFGE
