NFFÉ If the shutdown happens: 1 Report to work as usual Wednesdav for an "orderlv shutdown"(AL will be canceled) unless the Forest Service informs you in writing that you are officially furloughed. Otherwise you risk an unexcused absence if you are not furloughed. 1a) Work devices will need to be secured at the office if you are not classified as "essential/exempt " take them all in tomorrow eg hotspots, laptops, tablets, radios, agency vehicles & their keys. 2) follow us on socials: insta @nffe _fsc, fb @ForestserviceCouncil, bluesky @nffe-fsc.bsky.social. 3)Sign Up for NFFE alerts using your personal email. Follow NFFE on insta @nffe_ union, Fb @NFFEunion, and BlueSky @nffe.bsky.social 4) Review your personal finances and prepare for the possibility of delayed paychecks. Reach out to banks, utilities and loan servicers to see what their process is going to look like- last time most worked with our emplovees. Regularly visit the NFFE-FSC website and NFFE-FSC on Facebook for news and updates! http://www.NFFE.org & https://www.nffe-fsc.org Things to consider: 1) file an interim travel voucher if you are on a fire during this. 2) turn in leave requests for use or lose so they can be officially denied, this allows the leave to be reinstated if you don't get to use it. 3) update your timesheet(s). 3) stay within a 24hr call back range unless you have pre- approved leave. Given flight times, this doesn't limit your cheap beach options much. http://www.NFFE.org & https://www.nffe-fsc.org What we have on good authority: 1) Folks working on priorities eg timber, minerals, and fire are going to be "essential*." 2) RX burns are canceled 3) Depending on the nepa project, appeal/objection review teams will be "essential" *Essential (Syn exempted) means working but not getting paid until a budget is passed. Plan accordingly for commuting and daycare costs! We got the 2019 Government Employee Fair Treatment Act passed. NFFE fought hard to pass the 2019 Government Employee Fair Treatment Act. This ensures that all furloughed employees will receive their backpay retroactively upon the government reopening. No more hoping Congress would vote to backpay us! http://www.NFFE.org & https://www.nffe-fsc.org

The jobcorp, a residential education and career training program sponsored by USFS&DOL (sometimes dol & other agencies), is currently being zeroed out by Congress. Call/write your representatives today to protect this vital program! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... #ourworkmatters #nffestrong
The blue action network landing page with the title "tell congress to save the Civilian Conservation Centers" Below that is a bar tracking how many letters have been sent (404 as of this screen capture). The page finishes with the challenge "take action" NFFE LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT (a red banner over a photo of the capitol building) Red "act now" button The President's Fiscal Year 2026 budget proposes eliminating all funding for Job Corps- devastating move that would shut down the nation's most effective career training program for underserved youth. Defunding Job Corps will eliminate all U.S. Forest Service Civilian lonservation Centers, removing a pipeline of well-trained candidates for battling wildfires and stewarding our public lands. CCC employees have already received notice their centers may ne shut down within the next few weeks - even before Congress approves any budgetary changes. We must contact Congress immediately to ensure the CCC's remain open and are fully funded in FY26.
