Yes, we'd feel better if they disclosed data security standards and measures.
In a different timeline, we wouldn't be concerned, but considering how much data leakage doge has been caught with...
Eap is no longer a contractor. It's run by hhs.
Oof that typo made it through 3 sets of eyes
Marijuana use is prohibited for federal employees reguardless of state law The union has very little power to save your job if you test positive for illegal drugs. Safe Harbor is not a protection after the fact and must be claimed before notification of testing. Remember, it takes time for your off season exposures to clear your system. Our dues paying members are eligible for assistance through the IAM program to find the best care for their situation.

Ahhum, remember getting back in shape for the season includes- allowing time for exposures to metabolize out (a month typically).

Did you know the union gets you great group rates on temporary disability, life insurance, and dental/ vision coverage @nffebenefits.bsky.social is the team to get you prices and details.
Throughout his life, Rev. Jackson fought tirelessly for workers, both at home and around the world. At every turn, he reminded us that the fight for good jobs, living wages, and union rights is inseparable from the fight for justice and equality. May he rest in power.
We're about as staffed as we were last year at this time. 11k ish. About 600 are "new hires" but could be folks promoting. Roughly 37% with rounding.
Our Power is in our ability to fix the laws that need fixing with our partners from both sides of the aisle.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT www.nffe.org TELL CONGRESS COSPONSOR H.R. 1522 The Federal Retirement Fairness Act Federal employees that began their career as seasonal or temporary employees are not able to contribute the requisite number of years to draw full retirement benefits after 30 years of service. These dedicated workers then face a choice: leave the federal service without full retirement benefits or work longer than their peers to obtain their full retirement benefits. The Federal Retirement Fairness Act would allow former seasonal and temporary federal employees to "buy-back" retirement contributions in order to retire after 30 years of service. There is a qr code in the lower right corner ACT NOW! Tell Congress to cosponsor the bipartisan Federal Retirement Fairness Act. National Federation of Federal Employees Affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO
LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT www.nffe.org TELL CONGRESS COSPONSOR H.R. 6015 / S. 3174 The VA CBA Act of 2025 The Veterans Affairs Collective Bargaining Agreement Act of 2025 On March 27, President Trump issued an Executive Order, Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs, which aims to gut federal employee collective bargaining rights. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs have lost their constitutionally protected freedom to form and join a union since this executive order was implemented. The VA CBA Act of 2025 (H.R. 6015/S. 3774) would reverse the executive order as it applies to the VA and restore collective bargaining rights for these critical workers. There is a qr code in the lower right corner. ACT NOW! Tell Congress to cosponsor the VA CBA Act of 2025. National Federation of Federal Employees Affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO
NFFE LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT www.nffeorg TELL CONGRESS COSPONSOR H.R. 5091 The Wildland Firefighter Hazard Pay Correction Act Currently, federal wildland firefighters perform dangerous, life-threatening duties while on the front lines of wildfires, yet they do not receive hazard pay for this work. The Wildland Firefighter Hazard Pay Correction Act (H.R. 5097) provides hazard pay to federal wildland firefighters while engaged in prescribed fire operations, as well as smokejumpers performing training and proficiency jumps from airplanes. Qr code to lower right. ACT NOW! Help protect those brave individuals who put their lives on the line to protect our families, homes, and national parks. Tell Congress to cosponsor the Wildland Firefighter Hazard Pay Correction Act. National Federation of Federal Employees Affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO
Three action alerts today!
1) Do this on a break or after hours.
2) Share it with friends and family and encourage them to help fix the laws that need fixing.
One fixes #hazardpay on #prescribedFire, one our ability to buy back seasonal time, the last helps protect union rights for VA employees.
You tracking that that article is from 2024?
Round fsc HOLD THe Line logo with clenched upraised fist in the middle. From the Desk of Genny Kotyk Forest Service Council President (acting) I want to thank everyone that was able to make it to W3 in the last couple months and especially to our training committee and instructors who put so much effort into refreshing the content and holding these meaningful trainings. Also a shout out to our council and committee chair members that took time away from their families to really put in some effort planning ahead for the next two years of our work. Hopefully, everyone traveled home safely. And lastly, I want us all to remember what we made it through this time last year: The Valentine's Day massacre. We came together stronger than we ever have with many of our union leaders really stepping up and putting a lot of time and effort into saving thousands of employees' jobs. Many of whom got reinstated because of the work of some of our newest union leaders. That's what unions are all about; recognizing what we can do collectively for each other and pitching in. I hope you enjoyed the double holiday weekend and come back ready to continue to hold the line. Her signature in white with grey.

Fsc intermediate steward training, with instructor cadre and Forest Service Council members. Reads the caption. There a gaggle of folks on stairs in front of a brick building. There's an assortment of men and women with varying hair lengths and ethnicities. The variety of beards&facial hair is impressive.
Your forest service council members who were able to attend reads the caption. A gaggle of folks are standing infront of a partially frozen harbor. There is asailboat mast poking up about a third of the way across the photo from the right. One person has taken a knee. Two folks are photo shopped in due to being mia during the original photo session. There are leafless trees in the background with some interspersed pines.
It's been a busy couple of months, trainingwise, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
We're working on photos from the other classes, if you have them, please slide them into our dms @iamw3center

NFFE eagle and cog logo on a blue field with a gold frame around the card. In white text: Heading to the field this winter? Remember that needing tO travel througn rockfall and avalanche terrain qualifies for Hazard Pay- don't short yourself when you do your paycheck. An inset screen shot of the master plan: e. Other Hazardous Duties In accordance with 5 CFR 550.904(a), General Schedule employees will receive hazardous duty pay for other specified hazardous duties, including such things as: 1. Traveling Under Hazardous Conditions - When travel over secondary or unimproved roads to isolated mountain top installations is required at night, or under adverse weather conditions (such as snow, rain, or fog) which limits visibility to less than 30 meters (100 feet), when there is the danger of rock, mud, or snow slides. 2. Work in Rough and Remote Terrain - Working on cliffs, narrow ledges, or near-vertical mountainous slopes where a loss of footing would result in serious injury or death, or when working in areas where there is the danger of rockfalls or avalanches. Caption in white text: Article 28 section 6e2 Normal white text again: If you've been denied hazard pay for qualifying work, you may be eligible for backpay and interest. http://www.NFFE.org & https://www.nffe-fsc.org
