Our story

People take for granted fundamental freedoms today, such as having weekends off, coffee breaks, eight-hour work schedules, official time-off, and healthcare benefits. Only by being united as a union could workers have ever had hope of negotiating and winning these concessions from employers.
We call these concessions RIGHTS.
~Alma Lee, AFGE National VA Council, President
