Labor Notes National Call: Federal Workers Organizing

Photo by Labor Notes Editor Jenny Brown

Taking a hatchet to the federal workforce—and the work those workers perform—has been a top priority in the second Trump administration. Enlisting Elon Musk, his so-called efficiency program, and willing agency heads, the president and his allies have attempted to create chaos in their role as the largest employer in the United States.

But federal workers are getting organized, and fighting back! They're organizing rallies, getting more active in their unions (or joining them for the first time), and getting connected across unions to escalate their fight.

Come hear from federal worker unionists who are stepping up to the challenge!
