The nation’s largest federal workers’ union have called for Congress to pass a clean funding extension to reopen the government. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) announced its new position on Monday through an article published on the organization’s website.
Senate Republicans cited a call by the American Federation of Government Employees to pass a funding extension in an attempt to pressure Democrats to relent. The effort fell flat.
After many federal employees missed paychecks, AFGE called for a “clean” continuing resolution. The financial issues are compounded by other recent changes too.
