The Agency unilaterally Canceled union contract

UNION UPDATE -

Mario Benavides - Message

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is reviewing AFGE's appeal.

See January, 12 2026 Case

American Federation Of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, et al. v. Trump, et al. (25-4014)

I'm asking people to please not to cancel their membership. If the union has little membership, and we win in court, the agency, can still petition loss in interest and still cancel the union for low enrollment.

ABOUT

ABOUT AFGE

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union representing federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas. Workers in virtually all functions of government at every federal agency depend upon AFGE for legal representation, legislative advocacy, technical expertise and informational services. The union is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and divided into 12 geographical districts consisting of approximately 1,100 Locals. Over one-half of AFGE's members are consolidated into agency-wide bargaining units. Agencies with the highest concentration of union membership include the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration and the Department of Justice.
