"The tense atmosphere at work: 'They will tell you that you are safe but you're not safe. You may get an email at 12:38 am telling you that you are fired.'"
"'The demands motivating the upcoming demonstrations are clear: no cuts to vital services; no mass layoffs; respect union workers' contracts; and end the funding freeze.'"
Federal union members are preparing for nationwide demonstrations on February 19 following a memo encouraging deferrals of resignation. Their demands center on protecting vital services, halting mass layoffs, honoring contracts, and resolving funding issues. This comes after a legal setback where a judge allowed the deferred resignation scheme to proceed, despite union lawsuits questioning its legality. Workers like AFGE member Paul Osadebe voiced concerns over job insecurity, emphasizing a distressing work environment. The mobilization reflects a continued push for support despite the challenges faced by unions and their members.
