The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest and most influential federal and D.C. employees union in the United States. We’re growing stronger every day.

With CDC’s 2047 Bargaining Unit Employees, Local 2883 can effectively impact CDC’s workplace environment by negotiating working conditions at the bargaining table.  AFGE coordinates a full-scale legislative and political action program to monitor issues that impact the government workforce.

AFGE takes seriously its responsibility to help provide good government services while ensuring that government workers are treated fairly and with dignity.

AFGE is in the middle of every battle involving the well-being of federal and D.C. employees and their families. We lobby the White House, work in agencies, litigate in court and lobby in the halls of Congress. AFGE is all about producing results that positively affect our members’ lives.

With that said…

We’d like to take this opportunity to encourage your membership.  Employees interested in joining the Union can sign up directly with AFGE.  This new method, called AFGE EDues, enables members to pay dues directly from their checking account or with a credit or debit card.  We think EDues will be a great thing for the union, because it takes CDC out of the business of handling union membership and keeps them from interfering with our dues withholding. Our Local is live on E-Dues.  You can see your listing here:  JoinAFGE.org/L2883 We are encouraging everyone to use the checking account to avoid the debit and/or credit card fees.
