Public servants at the VA have finally had their right to a union contract restored by a federal judge. This is a huge victory for @AFGENational and the thousands of VA workers who never gave up in the fight.

Big win for 300,000 workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs. A federal judge ordered the VA to restore their union contract after finding the cancellation was illegal retaliation against @AFGENational. No matter what the obstacles, federal workers keep fighting forward.

Paycheck not raincheck #PayTSA
Reverend Al Sharpton@TheRevAl

This past weekend on #PoliticsNation, I spoke with Mac Johnson of the AFGE TSA Council 100 about the growing crisis facing TSA workers. More than 100,000 DHS employees have now missed a full paycheck, with some TSA officers receiving just dollars after deductions while still expected to keep our skies safe. We’re already seeing the impact with long airport lines and staffing shortages. Workers should never be used as pawns in political fights. Congress and the administration must pass a budget and pay these essential workers before this crisis deepens. #MSNOW

It’s time for Congress to pay the TSA officers who ensure public safety in our airports and our skies. It’s been over a month — no one should be expected to work for no pay.

'They don't have money for daycare, childcare, gas, food, and many other things as they've almost went a full month without a full paycheck... The workforce is sick and tired of being political pawns in the middle of these games.' TSA agent Johnny Jones joins @jaketapper to explain the struggles TSA agents are facing as they don't get paid during the partial government shutdown.

One year after the sweeping RIF at the U.S. Department of Education, the impact is still unfolding. Billions in education funding have been canceled. Thousands of grants supporting schools and colleges have been terminated. Students and families deserve better.

Glad to see that the courts are resisting Trump’s attack on the incredibly hard-working staff at the VA. Stripping their contract is an attack on working class Americans, health care access, and our country’s veterans. Thank you, AFGE. afge.org/publication/co…

“For us to be concentrating on our jobs without the hunger pains in our stomach — it’s really difficult to do and we can’t get it wrong. We have to get it right every time. We cannot miss a bag, we cannot miss a threat.” TSA worker Angela Grana speaks out about the partial government shutdown that has some DHS employees working without pay.

Thank you for your support, your leadership and for being a champion for federal employees and the veterans we care for ✊
Steny Hoyer@RepStenyHoyer

Collective bargaining is the strongest tool workers have to create a fair workplace, and the restoration of these rights is a huge win for federal workers & our veterans. I thank @AFGENational for their commitment to civil servants. We’ll keep working to counter the Admin’s attacks on the federal workforce. afge.org/publication/co…
