AFA Stands With AFGE, Labor Movement Against WH Union-busting Orders
September 27, 2019 — AFA joined the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and other federal worker unions this week on Capitol Hill in protesting against the administration’s efforts to undermine federal employee unions and prevent workers from blowing the whistle on mismanagement and other workplace abuses.
The White House is looking to fast-track implementation of three anti-worker executive orders that would prevent the union from representing employees at the worksite, filing employee grievances against wrongful terminations and other adverse actions, and bargaining over a range of issues that benefit workers and the public.
This is disgraceful. It’s about privatizing and destroying our democracy. AFA members count on the safety and security that comes with a unionized workforce.
