Today, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) joins the labor community in mourning the loss of AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who passed away this morning from a heart attack at age 72.

The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) is urging the U.S. Senate to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which strengthens workers’ rights to unionize.

The settlement ensures that the 2011 CBA is now legally binding until July 6, 2023, in addition to the Memorandum of Agreements associated with the contract. Separately, today’s agreement settles all litigation cases stemming from multiple Trump Executive Orders, resulting in several favorable outcomes.

Last week, Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), and Sherrod Brown (D-Oh.) reintroduced the “Chai Suthammanont Remembrance Act” in honor of a federal employee who passed away after contracting the COVID-19 virus at his workplace

NFFE is proud to announce that Matthew Dorsey has been named National Communications Director. This marks Dorsey’s third role with NFFE, where he first started as an intern in 2017. He brings a wealth of professional federal sector communications knowledge and ability to the position.

The EO calls for an ambitious, government-wide initiative that will take a systematic approach to embed DEIA in Federal hiring and employment practices.

The Federal Officers and Employees Protection Act will fix a very serious loophole in federal law that prevents the prosecution of criminals in the U.S. who attack or murder federal employees outside of the U.S.

On June 19, we commemorate the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States. Despite the freedoms granted by the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, it was not able to be enforced in many places until two years later, following the end of the Civil War.

This Memorial Day is particularly solemn as we remember those who have lost their lives in service to the United States of America, and we also remember those who have passed while fighting for the health and safety of others during the coronavirus pandemic.
