                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                            October 1, 2020

                               RESOLUTION

 
  Congratulating the National Federation of Federal Employees on the 
celebration of its 51st Convention on October 5, 2020, and recognizing 
the vital contributions to the United States made by the members of the 
        National Federation of Federal Employees for 103 years.

Whereas the National Federation of Federal Employees (referred to in this 
        preamble as the ``NFFE'') was created in 1917 as the first union in the 
        United States to exclusively represent civil service Federal employees;
Whereas the NFFE preserves, promotes, and improves the rights and working 
        conditions of Federal employees and other professionals through all 
        lawful means, including collective bargaining, legislative activities, 
        and contributing to civic and charitable organizations;
Whereas the contributions of the NFFE are noted in history through a century of 
        achievements for the Federal labor movement, including numerous reforms 
        to workforce policies and working conditions;
Whereas members of the NFFE serve the United States by performing critical 
        functions throughout Federal agencies, including the Department of 
        Defense, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department 
        of Veterans Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, 
        the National Park Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, the 
        General Services Administration, the Indian Health Service, the Passport 
        Service of the Bureau of Consular Affairs, and the Corps of Engineers;
Whereas, through a partnership with the International Association of Machinists 
        and Aerospace Workers and the American Federation of Labor and Congress 
        of Industrial Organizations, the NFFE promotes better working conditions 
        and an improved quality of life for working families across the United 
        States;
Whereas the NFFE represents more than 110,000 Federal employees; and
Whereas the NFFE continues to ensure that the voices of Federal civil servants 
        are properly represented: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates and honors the National Federation of 
        Federal Employees on the celebration of its 51st Convention; 
        and
            (2) recognizes the vital contributions of the members of 
        the National Federal of Federal Employees to the United States 
        during the 103-year period since the founding of the National 
        Federation of Federal Employees.
                                 <all>
