We had a great week last week in DC. We advocated with the offices of 4 U.S. Senators and 8 U.S. Representatives – from California to Illinois to Wisconsin to Pennsylvania. This is the power of union membership – direct action to get our priorities to those who need to hear them.

IFPTE is in DC this week, exercising our right to take our views to Congress. We’re advocating for better public services, a better civil service, and better working conditions for all the employees we represent!

Today we delivered a petition signed by 51 workers in Chicago District demanding our management look out for our safety with ICE actions expected to escalate this weekend into next week. Great solidarity in ACTION!

[Colin here:] I am SO proud of the members who came out to our FIRST informational picket yesterday. We’re only building from here, and as Commissioner Vasquez said today, you were really brave to speak out publicly. Thanks for all you do!

Great to be out with @704afge.bsky.social today at the protest against cuts to NIOSH, OSHA, and the CDC. Local 777 President Colin Smalley also condemns @chicagopolice.bsky.social for breaking up the peaceful, non-obstructive assembly. Citations in the 🧵👇

We signed two agreements with management today; one on “return to in-person work” and one on compressed work schedules. Collective Bargaining making a difference in our lives!
