Take up the fight in our nation’s capital for policies that benefit working people. Join hundreds of your fellow NFFE-IAM members at the 2022 IAM Legislative Conference from June 20 to 22, 2022.

On Tuesday, NFFE joined the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) during their legislative week at a rally outside the Department of Veterans Administration (VA) headquarters to protest the recently released report from the Asset and Infrastructure Review (AIR) Commission.

Earlier this month, House Education and Labor Committee amended H.R. 2499, the Federal Firefighter Fairness Act, to improve language within the bill to expand presumptive coverage for occupational illnesses for federal wildland and structural firefighters.

Earlier this month, NFFE wildland firefighters met with several high-ranking officials within the Biden Administration to urge the adoption of significant workforce reforms.

Last week, several federal wildland firefighters of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) visited the White House to urge Biden-Harris Administration officials to increase pay for federal employees on the front lines of the wildfire crisis.

Last week, a group of NFFE wildland firefighters from around the country visited Washington, DC to speak with lawmakers from across the political spectrum to rally support for the Tim Hart Wildland Firefighter Classification and Pay Parity Act (H.R. 5631), also known as Tim’s Act.

Today, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) applauds the New Jersey Delegation, particularly Representative Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), for their leadership in opposing the Federal Aviation Administration plan to reorganize the William J. Hughes Technical Center.

Please join the White House, the Department of Labor, and the AFL-CIO for a Building A Better America event on President Biden’s priorities for America’s workers.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of former NFFE National Secretary-Treasurer, John M. Paolino, who lost his lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease in recent days.

Last week, during NFFE Executive Director Steve Lenkart’s testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Government Operations Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) recognized the union for its work in advocating for federal wildland firefighters.
