Who We Are

American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). Our members are nurses, correctional officers, doctors, Social Security professionals, TSA agents, law enforcement officers, park rangers, and so much more. While we represent almost every type of federal employee, the agencies with the highest memberships are the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security.

AFL-CIO Affiliation

American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO)
AFGE is proud to stand with our fellow union members across the country and has been affiliated with the AFL-CIO, America’s largest labor federation, since 1932. We believe that the House of Labor is strongest when all working people stand together. Since 1997, all AFGE locals have been affiliated with their respective state federations.

What We Do

AFGE provides legal representation, technical expertise, and informational services for the hundreds of thousands of federal and D.C. government workers who are our members. We train our members to become activists at their workplace and in their communities, help them make their voices heard in media at the local, regional, and national level, keep them up-to-date on the benefits that come with their union membership, and are the nation’s leading legislative advocate for federal and D.C. government workers.

Together, we fight for dignity, safety, and fairness on the job so government can more effectively serve the American people.

Our Leaders and Organization

AFGE is comprised of 12 geographic districts representing every state, U.S. territory and the District of Columbia. Each district has its own elected national vice president and a field office located in the district. Our union is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The three elected executive officers and the 12 elected national vice presidents make up our National Executive Council. We are also made up of more than 70 agency-based councils and over 900 locals.
