DOGE went after federal workers. Now, they have a way to fight back. We launched Rise Up: Federal Workers Legal Defense Network to mobilize thousands of lawyers to connect federal workers with legal guidance and the support they need. https://workerslegaldefense.org/

“All labor has dignity.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On this day in 1968, Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis. He came to stand with striking sanitation workers—two of whom had been crushed to death on the job. Men denied basic safety, respect, and humanity.

Dr. King believed poverty was the greatest barrier to true equality.

Today, the fight continues. Unions are under attack. Dignity is still denied.

Dr. King didn’t just dream—he fought. He stood with the workers—and died for it.

If we honor him, we fight too. He saw the mountaintop. It’s up to us to keep climbing.

Due to the Administration’s EOs, the FAA severed ties with employee associations like the National Hispanic Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees. In order to continue your association dues, please see the website. If you aren’t already a member, please consider it! They’ve done so much for our organization, our Union, and the community.

CANCELLATION POLICY: All membership cancellations are processed as soon as possible. Please allow a couple of days for processing.

Sisters and Brothers - now, more than ever, is the time for activism, however that is for you. Stay strong, stay engaged, and know that your Union Leaders are in it to fight with you and for you. Remember, we are 584 days until the midterm elections and it’s never too early to get involved.

“The life of the union leader is the life of the activist-being on his own . . . making decisions . . . improvising ... changing the world. The nature of unionism requires that it grow by crisis: the people are emotional .. there are jealousies, factions, prejudices and a lack of communication... and there is always the overriding conflict of labor versus management.

The leader tries to give the members what they expect from him—a direction to follow, and the strength to move in that direction. He has a plan (or at least makes the members believe he does); he stimulates interest; he inspires followers.” ~Duane Beeler

TTD represents thousands of federal workers who are essential to our nation’s transportation safety systems & public services. We urge the Administration to reinstate those who have been laid off purely because of their probationary job status. https://ttd.org/news-and-media/press-releases-and-statements/ttd-statement-on-trump-administrations-federal-workforce-actions/

We’ve all seen the “What did you do last week?” email.

PASS President David Spero advises waiting for guidance, as PASS wasn’t notified, and the Agency provided no direction. Your local manager shouldn’t instruct you to respond.

If given a direct order, you must comply. If it’s your day off, you’re entitled to overtime—inform your manager accordingly.

Report any direct instruction to reply to your local representative.

🚨 Telework Isn’t the Real Target—YOUR CONTRACT IS! 🚨

The agency is testing us. If they can chip away at telework without a fight, they’ll come for more—📆 schedules, 💰 overtime, 🔒 job security.

🔥 Classic move: Start small, see how much resistance they get, then take more.
⚠️ If we don’t push back NOW, what’s next?

✊ Stand together. Hold the line. Defend the contract.
