Congratulating the National Federation of Federal Employees on the
celebration of the 100th anniversary of its founding and recognizing
the vital contributions of its members to the United States.
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 policy and working conditions;
Whereas NFFE members 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 100,000 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 congratulates and honors the National
Federation of Federal Employees on the celebration of the 100th
anniversary of its founding.
