Did you know that about 25% of Federal workers are Veterans? It takes a special kind of dedication to serve your country in uniform and then come back for another tour of duty.

Public servants do just that, serve the public. It’s in our character. Thank you, furloughed Feds, for continuing to give back.
Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown.

Good news for those (illegally) RIFed -
& another reason to join your local union
A federal court just clarified that its restraining order protects even more feds from RIFs during the shutdown --
including those in unions their agencies stopped recognizing (illegally, btw).
