Actions for Federal Workers

Anti-worker extremists have shut down the government because they want to take affordable health care away from 22 million Americans. Meanwhile, Russell Voight, director of the OMB is threatening mass layoffs during the shutdown. The attacks on federal workers are not stopping, but there is still much we can do.

We'll be sharing resources, updates and information about the shutdown and more. Make sure you're staying up-to-date on the latest information you need to protect yourself and opportunities to fight back.

You don't have to navigate these attacks alone. Sign up for communications now.

Working families across the country are staring down a health care crisis that will make our communities sicker and leave workers unemployed. Health care costs are about to skyrocket. Our health care system is on the verge of crisis, and now a government shutdown will harm the critical public services we all depend on. The administration is even threatening to use the shutdown to illegally fire thousands of federal workers including AFSCME members. We won’t stand for it.

Call your members of Congress today and urge them to: lower health care costs, protect federal workers and end this devastating shutdown by funding public services.

Russell Vought announced recently that the administration is threatening to enact mass firings during the shutdown. One thing is clear – their attacks on federal workers and the important jobs you do are not stopping. Sharing your stories about what AFSCME federal workers do every day is key to fighting back and raising awareness among the public about the harm that’s being done.
