If you want a voice, join us. In addition, the union's duty to represent all bargaining unit employees fairly and equally extends only to those functions that come directly from its role as exclusive representative. So, representation before MSPB, EEOC, OWCP, Federal courts, etc., and the associated costs, are for union members only. Union members also are eligible to participate in the various membership benefits that AFGE provides. These can be real money savers for employees and their families.
Federal unions have no duty to represent non-members in legal matters.
