Welcome to AFGE Local 2449!
AFGE Story: In 1932, civil service employees came together to stand up for basic workplace rights, forming the American Federation of Government Employees. Our union began at a precarious time for America’s working people, including government workers. Politicians were actively seeking to dismantle the nation’s civil service, workers at the time faced wage cuts, increased furloughs, and career opportunities had become increasingly rare. Rights we now take for granted, such as health insurance, overtime, and weekends were virtually nonexistent.
