"The strength of our union lies in our membership. Representing significant percentages of employees in an agency gives real meaning and impact to our collective voices. The reality is that agencies are well aware of our membership numbers, as is Congress.
With so many important battles underway—fighting for adequate pay increases; protecting retirement benefits; working to secure adequate agency funding; and more—our level of membership takes on even greater significance. We need every federal employee standing with us in these battles."
