#WhatWereFightingFor Troy Nimmo saw a coworker unfairly denied a probation report — no explanation, no accountability.  That moment changed everything.  He became a steward to make sure no one else goes through it alone. Today, he’s a leader on our Bargaining Unit Negotiating Committee.

🔴 Red flag: Your boss scapegoats you for their bad decisions right around review time. 🟢 Green flag: You know your rights — and you have a union to back them up.

🗳️ Victory for unions! This past week, the House voted bipartisanly to restore collective bargaining rights to nearly 1 million federal workers.  ✅ 20 Republicans joined Democrats ✅ Undoing Trump’s 2025 union-busting executive order ✅ Senate vote coming next 👀
