Last year, hundreds of EPA employees signed a letter speaking out because they believed political interference and environmental rollbacks were putting public health at risk.
The response from EPA leadership? Suspensions, investigations, and firings.
Recent reporting revealed agency attorneys and ethics officials warned agency leadership that punishing workers for signing the dissent letter could create serious legal and constitutional concerns. The administration moved forward anyway.
This is bigger than one agency. Public servants should be able to raise concerns about threats to clean air, safe water, and environmental safety without fear of retaliation.
Add your name and stand with EPA workers defending science, free speech, and public health. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-punishing-epa-workers-for-speaking-out

First and foremost, union dues help support national and local efforts that serve to help all Federal employees. These efforts help to ensure better benefits, protect worker rights, and improve the overall working environment for all Federal employees including managers. Union workers lobby Congress for input into congressional decisions that impact federal workers and bargain with management regarding employee concerns. It is more honorable to contribute to these efforts than to get a free ride. By joining AFGE, you are also supporting and benefiting from five (5) full-time professional AFGE lobbyists who work the halls of Congress on our behalf.
