AFGE represents some 600,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas. Our members serve in virtually all functions of government and are employed across a wide spectrum of agencies. At AFGE, we are as diverse as the services we provide.
"The American people want good government. They want government to perform effectively and efficiently, to provide taxpayers with good value for their investment, and to deliver the services they need with proficiency.
That’s what AFGE members want, too. It’s what we’re working for. And it’s what we will achieve.
This is not a time for austerity, nor is it a time for retrenchment. It is a time to move full speed ahead as we make the case for why America needs a vibrant public sector now more than ever, why we need to further empower federal employees to serve the people to the best of their ability, and why we need good government once and for all."
-- AFGE National President John Gage
