What does AFGE mean in NASA

AFGE, or the American Federation of Government Employees, is the largest union representing federal and D.C. government employees in the United States. It is a union composed of over 700,000 federal workers who advocate for their working conditions and benefits.

All federal workers employed in a bargaining unit position are eligible to join AFGE. This includes permanent, part-time and temporary employees working in executive departments, uniformed services, nonappropriated funds entities, Postal Service and Congress.

For starters, membership in AFGE gives employees access to legal advice from union-appointed labor attorneys who specialize in labor law matters related to federal employment such as filing an EEO complaint or preparing an appeal to a Merit System Protection Board decision. Additionally, members receive support from field staff located throughout the country who are on-hand to address any workplace issues that arise for them including assistance negotiating contracts with their employer and representing them if disciplinary action is taken against them by management.

AFGE is committed to defending the rights of its members by fighting back against management's attempts to erode working conditions or benefits through collective bargaining agreements and lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill. The organization also engages in legislative advocacy activities on behalf of its members at both the state and national level to ensure that legislation passed provides proper protections to federal workers and their families.

Being an active member ofAFGE offers many advantages including discounts on car rentals/hotels/travel/insurance; personal career development services such as resume writing or job seeking seminars; scholarship programs for dependents; opportunities for leadership engagements; access to cost saving products through affinity partners; and even special entertainment promotions!
