NFFE Newsroom

Last week, the White House and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memo directing federal agencies to increase in-person work and scale back telework and remote work for federal employees when doing so would improve mission delivery and customer service. NFFE is committed to protecting telework for federal employees.

Last week, leadership from the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) spent several days in Juneau, Alaska to attend a new employee orientation for the United States Forest Service. The orientation was for new workers who will be stationed on the public lands and parks in Alaska, all of which are represented by NFFE Local 251.

Late last month, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) held a call to discuss the accomplishments of the union during 2022, and subsequent goals for 2023.

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 is proud that since our foundation in 1917, and throughout our over 100-year history, this union has been led by women and has fought for the rights of women in the workplace.

A big congratulations goes out to NFFE Locals FL 1650, 1697, 2189, 1431, and 1840.

Following the announcement Erwin spoke briefly with Biden about federal employees and the pro-union agenda of the White House.

NFFE has filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge against the U.S. Forest Service due to the agency’s refusal to bargain over wildland firefighter "4/10" work schedules.
