BREAKING: Judge orders @DeptVetAffairs to restore AFGE collective bargaining agreement covering more than 320,000 VA employees.

[AFGE @AFGENational]

Charlton Allen’s appalling history of bigoted and racist remarks and conduct is inexcusable, disqualifying, and simply put, should be a red line for all of us.  

The Trump administration must withdraw its nomination of Allen for General Counsel of FLRA, immediately.

President Trump’s federal labor board pick founded and ran a student newspaper that belittled and disparaged Black, LGBTQ+, Jewish groups and individuals, among others.

Thank you for standing up for federal employees who serve our country 👏

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Charlton Allen is Trump’s pick to lead the office responsible for protecting federal workers from discrimination. Every worker. Black, Jewish, LGBTQ, all of them.

In college, he ran a magazine that put a Jewish candidate for student body president on the cover, depicted with horns and a pitchfork.

I gave him the chance to say plainly that it was antisemitic. He wouldn’t.

If you can’t recognize and condemn antisemitism when you see it, you have no business deciding whether someone was discriminated against in the workplace.

President Everett Kelley of @AFGENational: “In the midst of what they thought would destroy us, it built us!”

[AFGE @AFGENational]

Don’t be fooled — this is a blatant attempt to corrupt the federal government by eliminating employees’ due process rights so they can be fired for political reasons.

[Scott Kupor @skupor]

Thank you @POTUS for signing the Schedule Policy/Career executive order today to create greater accountability and restore democratic principles to the operation of the Executive branch. https://t.co/p0b8QnLIFc

[AFGE @AFGENational]

Only in Washington do leaders try to cover up their chaotic, wasteful and anti-American attempts to dismantle the federal government by trying to force their workers to sign NDAs.

[Scott Kupor @skupor]

Only in Washington is maintaining the confidentiality of pre-decisional workplace policy discussions considered controversial!

AFGE is grateful to @SenatorHassan and @SenatorLankford for reintroducing the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026 which would take government shutdowns off the table and force Congress to stay in town until their work is done.

Thank you for standing up for AFGE members ✊

[AFGE @AFGENational]

Thank you for for standing up for federal employees and AFGE members.

[Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford]

The American people are tired of worthless government shutdown drama and Congress using federal workers and government services as pawns in political standoffs. The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act ends government shutdowns forever with a simple idea: if Congress doesn't do its job, Congress doesn't get to go home. Read more⬇️ https://t.co/pnZAwLuLus

We're grateful for CTI Chairman @RepPfluger for honoring the dedicated members of AFGE who keep the flying public safe!

Thank you for supporting AFGE members at TSA.

[Rep. August Pfluger @RepPfluger]

.@TSA Agents are the frontlines of protecting travelers and defending our aviation system from evolving threats.

In @HomelandGOP yesterday, I thanked the dedicated TSA personnel in Texas and across the country who continued to serve unpaid through the Democrat-caused longest government shutdown in history. Their commitment to protecting America is truly remarkable.

[TTD | America's Transportation Unions @TTDAFLCIO]

25 years after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, we remain grateful for the dedicated @TSA workers repped by @AFGENational.

As @AFGEPrezKelley says, we must continue to support this vital workforce that keeps the flying public safe.

[AFGE @AFGENational]

It's time for Congress to do its job and fund DHS.

Secretary Pete Hegseth Just Declared War on Federal Unions

The "Department of War" is moving to revoke collective bargaining agreements for federal employees. But the union’s existence depends on its members, not government recognition. The fight isn't over. (@AFGENational)

@RepValHoyle Thank you for your support, Congresswoman Hoyle✊

To rip up the union contracts of DOD employees after touting a successful ceasefire with Iran is not only a slap in the face to those who supported those efforts, but again proves that this action has nothing to do with national security & everything to do with silencing workers.

[Bloomberg Law @BLaw]

The Department of Defense canceled its collective bargaining agreements with the union representing around 300,000 agency employees, the latest in a series of contract cancellations as the Trump administration seeks to reshape the federal workforce. https://t.co/oRlNl5wA28

[AFGE @AFGENational]

Our union has successfully challenged illegal attempts to strip our members of their union rights by terminating their collective bargaining agreements, and we will continue to do so.

[Representative Val Hoyle @RepValHoyle]

A collective bargaining agreement is a contract and AFGE fought hard to achieve these rights for workers. This is just one more example of the Trump administration undermining the rights of union members while trying to convince Americans that they stand for working people. Union busting is disgusting and I stand with AFGE. @AFGENational
