The American Federation of Government Employees is planning to lay off
more than half its staff, as the largest federal employees’ union reels
from President Donald Trump’s move to end collective bargaining rights for
many federal workers.
AFGE, which has filed an array of lawsuits against the Trump
administration, is set to shrink its own workforce to about 150 employees,
down from 355 staffers, according to a union spokesperson. The layoffs,
which will affect organizers, national representatives, support staff and others, could take place as early as June.
But the union, which represents more than 800,000 federal staffers, vowed
to continue fighting.
“The President’s elimination of elective membership dues and the resulting layoffs are a setback, but they are not the end of AFGE - not by a
longshot,” the union said in a statement. “We will not be deterred,
silenced, or intimidated into submission.”
