Standing with Federal Workers
Querida familia LCLAA,
Throughout history, federal workers have been the public servants who keep our government running, provide essential services, and uphold our democracy. Federal workers deserve to be protected, respected, and supported not attacked or silenced.
But right now, their rights and their livelihoods are under threats.
We've already seen how layoffs are affecting federal workers, putting their jobs, families, and future at risk. These are not just numbers on a spreadsheet, these are real people whose daily lives are being disrupted, whose families are facing uncertainty and hardship.
Bargaining is not a privilege, it is a fundamental right. Unionizing is not a privilege, it ensures that all workers have a voice in their job, fair treatment, and the ability to advocate for better working conditions.
All workers and unions must stand shoulder to shoulder with federal workers in this fight. Because when federal workers are targeted, it doesn't stop there, families suffer, neighborhoods feel the strain, and entire communities are negatively impacted.
All the labor movement must remember that an injury to one is an injury to all workers and this is non-negotiable. Let's raise our voices, stand strong and defend federal workers and their rights.
United we must defend collective bargaining and demand dignity for all.
In Solidarity,
Evelyn DeJesus,
LCLAA National President.
