2018 is an extremely important year for federal employees as we gear up for a heavy fight against cuts to pay and benefits for active and retired employees, and repel dangerous revisions to workforce laws and regulations that are anti-employee and anti-labor. Make your reservations now to join the fight and strengthen your relationships with your senators and representative!
