We believe in better. We stand up and fight back for better. We work for working families around the world.
Federal employees are in a terrible position. During this longest-in-our-nation’s-history government shutdown, those deemed “essential” can either go to work with no idea when they’ll see a paycheck or face discipline. The law is not on their side thanks to provisions in the Taft Hartley Act of 1947, which delivered a wave of restrictions on workers’ power.
These are our fellow union members. Many are veterans. They didn’t ask for this. Like all of us, they have bills to pay.
For them and all who are impacted by this shutdown – including our own members – it is time for this standoff to end. Congress has the power. Back in December, the Senate passed a bill that would have provided funding to reopen the government. The House took similar action this month. But, we need more action now.
Please lend solidarity to all those feeling the sting of this shutdown by signing the petition below.
Note: Due to the unpredictable nature of the shutdown and time constraints, we are doing this petition as an online effort only. If you are able to quickly gather signatures in your workplace, consider using a phone or other device as a way to have people sign.
