Lobbying elected officials is critical in our efforts to improve the lives of federal workers across the country. Every day NFFE lobbies Congress and the Administration to ensure that our elected leaders act in the best interest of federal workers and their families.
But we are not alone. Many other powerful voices are lobbying politicians on Capitol Hill every day – some that are hostile to the federal workforce. If we are to overcome the negative attitude toward federal workers on Capitol Hill, we all must join the fight for positive change.
This year, we ask that you do your part to make a difference by joining us May 13-16, 2013 for the IAMAW’s Legislative Conference here in Washington. If you plan to purchase a discounted room from the IAM’s block at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill, be sure to reserve your room before April 8.
In addition to four days of lobbying your elected officials, attendees will hear rousing speeches from dozens of prominent members of Congress and the labor movement. Both at the Conference and on Capitol Hill, you can let your elected officials know exactly where federal employees stand on key issues like pay, benefits, and job security.
The reason to join is simple: if a member of Congress is never told about why federal employees are important, how would they know? We need you to come to Washington and tell them! Visit the Legislative Conference 2013 page on the NFFE website for more information.
