On Friday, September 17, NFFE celebrated its 93rd year of fighting for federal workers. Ratifying its constitution on this date in 1917, NFFE was the first union to represent exclusively non-postal federal employees.
Throughout our near century-long existence, NFFE has played a major role in nearly every significant federal workforce policy: from the 40 hour work week to health care benefits; and from retirement credit for annual leave to health benefits for workers and their families, NFFE has strived to make the federal government the best workplace in the nation.
Today, we celebrate this proud history and look forward to another 93 years of working for America, every day. Happy Birthday NFFE!
