Can your family lose 5 months groceries?

Congress has once again targeted government employees to pay for their irresponsible policies by passing a budget resolution that cuts your pay by 12 percent. AFGE swiftly mobilized its members into action.

Through our nationwide campaign, we’re telling Congress “No Way” to more cuts to our paychecks.

AFGE has created an online Budget Action Center to deliver tools that our members need to lobby Congress to kill this disastrous budget deal. By visiting www.afge.org/BudgetActionCenter, members can send letters to their members of Congress, tell their communities how a pay cut would impact them and share content on social media that shows their friends and family what a 12 percent pay cut means to them.

AFGE has held tele-town halls with Local Presidents and the general membership to discuss our strategy and how they can take action.
Face-to-face education and recruitment is the only way we’ll be big enough to win the fight to stop the pay cut. That’s why AFGE members are recruiting their colleagues across the country to join the fight. AFGE has launched a special rebate campaign to bring even more members into the fight.
