Federal workers at risk in Kansas City as shutdown looms

Michele McNally is the recording secretary for the American Federation of government Employees. She has worked with the Department of Labor for 28 years. McNally said shutdowns are almost imbedded in her line of work. “I’ve been through two actually shutdowns before this one, but annually we go through this and sometimes it goes down to the brink and we are sure we are not coming back the next day and then something magical happens,” McNally said.

'Total disaster': Some furloughed workers plan to hold garage sales, dip into savings to weather government shutdown - ABC News

Imelda Avila-Thomas and her husband, who both work for the federal government, suffered a "double whammy" when the government shut down, dropping the household from two incomes to none, she said. Avila-Thomas, 43, president of union local American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) 2139 and an employee at the Department of Labor, said she stopped hiring a tutor for her 12-year-old daughter, who has dyslexia, while making plans for a garage sale to sell off some possessions. The government shutdown, which entered its seventh day on Tuesday, has engendered "desperation and uncertainty," said Avila-Thomas, who lives in San Antonio, Texas. "Any day that goes by, it adds up." AFGE - NCFLL Imelda Avila-Thomas

Federal workers in Kansas City begin to feel pressure

“My routine is to go to work and, you know, drop Saddie (daughter) off on the way, that’s my routine, and that’s been taken from me,” Suchman said. Suchman represents local employees with the Department of Labor, an agency that saw thousands of workers sent home immediately after the shutdown began. “Nine thousand got sent home right away,” Suchman said. “And to deny those people money for something that has nothing to do with them, especially when last time they passed a law to make sure that never happened.” AFGE-NCFLL Jefferson Suchman

Labor Forums

Labor-Management Forums are a fundamental change in labor-management relations, extending to all levels of the NCFLL. The NCFLL and the U.S. Department of Labor are developing structures and formats for Labor-Management Forums. Union activists should apprise themselves of the Labor-Management Forums concept and consider the changes and impacts that will result from implementation.
