Tell Congress to Cosponsor the FAIR Act to Give Federal Employees an 8.7% Pay Adjustment!

Last week, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) sent a letter to Congress to express concern on behalf of members regarding proposals to downsize the civilian workforce employed by the DoD. 

In the wake of winter storms and extreme weather, NFFE would like to remind members that they have access to disaster relief resources, and how to apply for those resources.

Yesterday, NFFE sent a letter to Congress urging the previous authors from last Congress to reintroduce the VA Employee Fairness Act of 2021. The bill would guarantee full collective bargaining rights for all clinicians working in the VA, allowing them to improve the VA’s ability to provide the highest standards of care for our veterans.

NFFE praises the Biden Administration’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2024, which addresses several issues relating to the federal wildland firefighter workforce. More than $4.2 billion would be provided to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior to implement necessary reforms.

In addition to a 5.2% pay increase for federal employees across the board, the budget would provide increased resources in several key areas for NFFE-IAM members at agencies such as Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Agriculture, including the Forest Service.
