Representing Social Security employees at 14 offices across NYS. Fighting for our members. Informing our communities. Building bridges between federal workers and the public we serve.
SSA claims "phone wait times DOWN to SINGLE DIGITS."
Reality today:
2+ hour waits, 85% never get through, 35K+ still on hold at 3:20pm.
Single digits? Try propaganda.
We've got receipts. Every day. Time-stamped.
What's the Commissioner got? Photo ops and fiction.

Greedy Wall Street billionaires want nothing more than to take our Social Security money to gamble it on the stock market and extract fees along the way.

Dr. King didn't just dream—he organized. He stood with workers demanding dignity and knew civil rights and labor rights are inseparable. Today we honor him by defending federal workers and the communities we serve. All labor has dignity. ✊

SEQUEL: The Numbers Strike Back

Today's SSA 800 Number reality: 31,045 callers, 1 hr 58 min wait by 3:44pm. Commissioner Bisignano wants to share numbers? Here are the REAL numbers his 800N obsession revealed. It's a totally different story from what he's making up or being told. The public deserves the truth.

This is how they get the rest of us to leave. Then they sell it off to the highest bidder. We cant let this pass!
Claiming to balance the budget on the backs of federal workers—by taking away their rights and their benefits:

This is extortion. Full stop.

And I oppose it in every single way.
