A top House lawmaker has announced that Congress will pass a governmentwide temporary spending bill to keep the government running through Dec. 20, forestalling a government shutdown as the House…

Move comes as partial shutdown prospect still looms.

Congress and the administration have made it clear that they'll do anything to bust our union. Next week, they're trying to pass the ironically named MERIT Act, short for Modern Employment Reform, Improvement, and Transformation Act. Unfortunately, the bill won't modernize, reform, improve, or transform our jobs. It would make it easier than ever for managers to fire you.

We need you to take 5 minutes and call 866-356-0201 to tell your Member of Congress that this is unfair and unproductive, and to oppose the MERIT Act.

Under the MERIT Act:

You would no longer be able to appeal adverse actions and unfair reductions in force actions through the grievance procedures. The only venue for you to appeal these unfair actions would be the severely under-resourced Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), which reviews similar cases for the entire federal workforce of 2 million employees. The agency’s decision becomes final if the MSPB does not issue a decision within 30 days.
You will not have enough time to mount a credible defense if you are accused of performance or disciplinary issues, because the bill drastically shortens the response time.
You can be fired at any point in your first two years on the job, for any reason.
You may be forced to repay a bonus or award if the agency head claims he or she was unaware of a conduct or performance issues when you received the payment.
We all know that we can't do our best work constantly looking over our shoulder. The MERIT Act won't make government more efficient - it will slow us down even more. Call your lawmakers at 866-356-0201 to stop the MERIT Act NOW.

We must do everything we can to stop this bill. Call your lawmakers and make sure your Local members do the same.

In solidarity,
AFGE

The ruling, which the administration will almost certainly appeal, is a blow to Republican efforts to rein in public-sector labor unions.

The advisory by the Federal Labor Relations Authority could ripple through the government, which the Trump administration has directed to implement similar rules.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that government workers can't be forced to contribute to labor unions that represent them in collective bargaining, dealing a serious financial blow to organized labor. The justices are scrapping a 41-year-old decision that had allowed states to requi...
