To all NFFE Members: Please use our Action Alert to contact your Senators and request they co-sponsor the Federal Firefighter Fairness Act (S. 1116) and call it to the floor as soon as possible.

Last year, GEO employees at Robert A. Deyton Detention Facility in Lovejoy, Georgia ratified a collective bargaining agreement to establish the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) as their union representative. The local's supplemental agreement included a four percent pay raise for all employees, including a $10 hourly wage increase for some of the nurses at the facility.

The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) is pleased to announce that 2021 was one of the very best organizing years for our union in the past several decades, achieving 6.3% net growth in the twelve-month period ending in December of last year. Further, with the membership gains from 2021 NFFE has fully recovered from membership losses that were suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this month, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) was invited to join the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials in a focus group to help develop a new occupational series that aims to properly classify wildland firefighters.

As part of NFFE’s ongoing effort to build membership, NFFE is introducing its 2022 NFFE Local Organizing and Recruitment Donation Program.

Last weekend, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) was proud to support the Big Bear Interagency Hotshots as they competed in the 2022 Hotshot Up Volleyball Tournament at the San Buenaventura Beach in Ventura, California.
