Brothers and Sisters,

A vote on this amendment will occur Tuesday.  Please contact your Senators to tell them to vote NO on the Roberts’ amendment #1826.  Click here to send an email to your Senators.

If Senators do not hear from you, they will assume that you are willing to accept this third year of the freeze.  We have to fight back immediately. 

If you cannot reach your Senators’ offices today, please call first thing on Tuesday morning.  Make sure they understand where you work – and the type of work you do.  Our enemies believe that federal employees are faceless bureaucrats.  Make them put a face to who there are hurting; not only is it you, but it’s also the millions of Americans we help and serve every day.

In solidarity,

Beth Moten
AFGE Legislative and Political Director

Important information!! 

Attached is the instructions on how to access your Electronic OPF.  Our MOA is clear that you can review your 201 paper file any time before it is shipped to out-of-state storage. You can go review you file and nothing prevents you from using the copy machine to make copies. (You may need to bring your own paper)  Once your file is shipped away, your rights evaporate. If you find a discrepancy you will then have to wait for the "scanned copy" CD of your file.  If you have a dispute, dispute, management has to "request" verification.  It's hardly the same thing, and could take FOREVER!!  If you have any questions, please contact the Union office at (801) 777-3257 or stop by bldg. 555.
