Join the NFFE FLSA Lawsuit Now!

(National Federation of Federal Employees)
NFFE- IAM
understands the anger and frustration that many
of you are currently experiencing as a result
of the government shutdown. In addition to
disrupting your life over politics, we believe
that the government is violating the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) by requiring excepted
employees to work without pay during the
shutdown. WE HAVE TAKEN LEGAL ACTION AND FILED
A LAWSUIT IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF
CLAIMS!
NFFE-IAM has joined
forces with Snider & Associates, LLC, and
several other Unions to file a collective
action lawsuit against the federal government
based upon its failure to pay minimum wage
and/or overtime to excepted employees who are
working through the shutdown. Snider &
Associates is a law firm that primarily
represents unions and employees with special
expertise in federal sector labor and
employment law matters. In order to be
eligible to join the case, you must be
designated as FLSA non-exempt and excepted
status and have performed work during the
shutdown. The information about your FLSA
status can be found on your SF-50. We strongly
encourage every employee who is eligible, to
join the case. There is no cost to do so.
For more information about the case or to join
please visit www.sniderlaw.com/shutdown.
In addition to the communications that we will
be sending out, you can also monitor that
website for updates on the case.
You will not automatically be added to this lawsuit, you have to affirmatively join via the website. Your fellow bargaining unit members who are not NFFE members can join as well. However, the time for them to stand on the sidelines and let you shoulder the burden of representing them is over. We are in the fight of our lives. When telling non-members about the case, please ask them to join the fight by joining NFFE. The form to join can be found here. Give it to them, ask them to fill it out and send it to newmember@nffe.org.
