AFGE Fight Back News - House 2013 Budget Plan: Worse Than the First!

AFGE has produced an emergency edition of the Fight Back News which highlights the impact of the Ryan House Budget proposal.  The budget is a brutal attack on federal employees and the services we deliver. 

The latest House Budget plan, unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan (WI) on March 20, proposes a staggering $368 billion in additional federal workforce cuts over the next 10 years including:


• Extending the current pay freeze for three years
• Massive cuts to federal pensions totaling $78 billion
• Cutting 10 percent of the federal workforce

The Fight Back News is approved by the AFGE General Councils Office for work-site distribution with the caveat (included on the News) that it cannot be reproduced or circulated on duty time, using government equipment or government resources.
