Project 2025 is a blueprint for the hostile takeover of the federal government under an anti-union presidential administration. Everything from our jobs and union rights to the very existence of our agencies and our union are on the line.

 Authored by the ultra-conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, much of what is included in the 922-page document has to do with recommendations for enormous changes to the terms of federal employment, such as eliminating the GS and WG pay systems, making huge changes to the retirement system by cutting federal employee pensions and increasing the Social Security age, reinstating discriminatory hiring practices, making it almost impossible to reverse disciplinary actions and more.

Project 2025 threatens the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of federal employees and the unions that represent them by recommending budget cuts to shrink the government, privatize portions of the government and convert hundreds of thousands of jobs to Schedule F, which demands loyalty to the president, not the Constitution. It also recommends ordering agencies to reopen existing collective bargaining agreements to attain the strongest management rights and to decertify unions at DOD and DHS.

AFGE needs all hands-on deck to stop Project 2025 because if it succeeds, AFGE will no longer exist.

President Biden has stood up against threats to both working people and the apolitical civil service, union president says

WASHINGTON – The American Federation of Government Employees, the nation’s largest federal employee union representing 750,000 federal and DC government employees, proudly endorses President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for reelection next year.

After a nationwide telephone town hall and two national membership polls that showed Biden to be the members’ overwhelming choice, AFGE’s National Executive Council voted unanimously to endorse President Biden in the 2024 election.

AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:

“During his first term, President Biden has proven himself to be the most labor-friendly president in our lifetime. The results of our endorsement process show that he is the overwhelming choice of AFGE members. It’s not hard to see why.

“Joe Biden has stood up for the working people who serve our government with honor and distinction across this country and helped restore our apolitical civil service after years of vicious attacks.

“He enacted the largest raise for federal employees in 20 years, rolled back the previous administration’s assaults on government workers’ rights on the job, rescinded an order from his predecessor that would have politicized tens of thousands of civil service jobs and stripped workers of basic protections, provided federal employees with 15 weeks of emergency leave and easier access to worker’s compensation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and established a task force to expand union representation within the federal government and across the country.

“President Biden’s administration has been there for AFGE members and for all workers. He isn’t afraid to say he supports labor unions, and we’re not afraid to say we support Joe Biden. Next November, we are going show up and give President Biden and Vice President Harris another four years to finish the job by building on the tremendous progress they have achieved so far.”
