AFGE action alert 10/26/17

 

Brother and Sisters,

You did it! Today, the House passed the Senate Budget Resolution without reconciliation cuts to your pay, retirement, or health care benefits.

Your calls, emails and letters made the difference in keeping cuts to federal employees out of the final budget.

Thank you to all the local leaders and members who mobilized against these harmful proposals over the past five months, joined multiple conference calls, participated in telephone town halls, and took time to meet with Members of Congress.

You made 44,334 calls to Congressional offices to fight for your pay, retirement, and health care benefits.

Although this budget does not include cuts to our compensation and benefits, AFGE does not support this budget. The budget passed today is a vehicle for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, which will ultimately increase the deficit, and again result in cuts to federal budgets, and our jobs and benefits. We had a victory today, but OUR fight is not over.

YOUR voice makes a difference. We have many battles ahead of us and AFGE must be engaged and ready to fight for your rights and the rights of all working people.

Thank you,
AFGE

 

House Approves Cuts to YOUR Pay and Retirement. Can We Stop Them?

On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted to approve a budget that mandates cuts to your pay and retirement. Every AFGE member and every federal employee will be impacted by these cuts if we do not act now.

We have one last chance to stop the House’s budget from becoming law – we must call every member of Congress and tell them to vote no on any budget that cuts federal employee wages and retirement benefits.

Calling your member of Congress is easy. Dial 1 (844)669-5146 and listen to the script, then enter your zip code.
When someone answers the phone, simply tell the staffer that you are a voter in the District, you are a federal employee and that you do not deserve cuts to your pay or your hard-earned retirement.

Then call the number back. You should make three calls: one to each DC office of your two Senators, and one to the DC office of your House Representative.

Then call this number: 1 (888)775-3148 to call all three District offices – one call to each of your Senator’s district offices and one to your House Representative’s district office.
