NFFE strongly condemns the first budget proposal from President Trump which decimates the retirement security for 2.1 million federal employees in a misguided attempt to draw down the federal deficit on the backs of working people while cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires.

"This may be the single largest attack on a group of workers’ retirement in our nation's history. These proposed pension cuts are unconscionable,” stated NFFE National President Randy Erwin.

“I’m sorry, gutting middle-class federal employees’ retirement security to make way for billionaire tax cuts is not how you make America great again.”

On May 19th, The Society of Federal Labor & Employee Relations Professionals presented the 2017 Margery Gootnick Labor-Management Cooperation Award to NFFE Local 251 President Ken Dinsmore and Rebecca Nourse, a Deputy Regional Forester.

Over the past five years, the pair ensured that both the agency and the union have sustained a high level of cooperative relations through mutual trust and respect. Dinsmore and Nourse have reduced the number of grievances filed by 50% and have productively used interest-based problem-solving techniques to frame their discussions and negotiations.
