"I am AFGE" Offers Real Picture of Federal Employees
Friday, March 28, 2014(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
A new
campaign from AFGE takes a closer look at
the hardworking men and women who
are the dedicated public servants caring for
our veterans, defending our
borders and keeping our food safe to eat. The
campaign aims “to break down the
stereotypes that some folks have about federal
employees and the federal
government, and to highlight all the great work
that federal employees are
doing,” says AFGE President J. David Cox Sr.
“The best way to do this is
through federal employees’ own voices.” The
campaign will revolve around 15
short-form documentaries, which will be
released through the year. Each
documentary will recount the story of one
member or group of members from the
same agency and explore what public service
means to them and their families.
AFGE also will spread the word through
traditional and social media. - AFL-CIO Now
