They are so close to having the required number of signatures! Do you know anyone on the Uintah-Wasatch-Cache who would like to sign an 1187 to get them over the line?

USDA’s excuse that closed offices are due to “departed employees” and “budget constraints” technically checks out, when you skip the part that #USDA and #DOGE did the departing through 20,000 cut by DOGE… Just skip that part… www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/...

Emily Barker was a remarkable person who brought joy to everyone around her. Her sudden passing while fighting wildfires has left her family devastated. This fundraiser aims to support them during this incredibly tough time. If you can, consider donating/ sharing this post. Every little bit counts.

BIG THANKS to @repdexteror.bsky.social @neguse.house.gov & @nffe-fsc.bsky.social for action to protect wildland firefighters’ health. #AltCitizen ACTION: If in FIRE-PRONE RED STATE plz reach out to your House Rep to encourage bi-partisan support for this. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Presser on YouTube:

We would like to signal boost any fundraisers for the survivors or loved ones of the Knowles/Gore Fires. Please dm us any links we should be aware of.

Nicholas A. Hutcherson was a brave wildland firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting communities and public lands. This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in these early days. Even if you can't donate, a quick share can help. gofund.me/8af002151

The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) mourns the tragic loss of three federal wildland firefighters who died in the line of duty, while responding to the Knowles and Gore Fires along the Colorado-Utah border. The fires, now merged, are the Snyder Mesa Fire.

Heavy hearts. Stay safe. Get support if you think you might need it. www.nffe.org/press-releas...

If Congress could hear one thing from our members, what would it be? Whitney Patterson from NFFE Local 1919 shares her message from Legislative Week on the Forest Service reorganization.

Day 5 That's a wrap; What a week! Over the past five days, we met w/ lawmakers, shared the stories of our federal employees, & advocated for legislation that will strengthen the federal wildland firefighting workforce & agencies that serve our public lands. #NFFE #UnionStrong #LegislativeWeek

Dear followers- which is better a) as many photos as possible attached to the first post and then a text thread or b) space the photos out through the thread?

Day 4 of Legislative Week is in the books! 💚 Another full day of meetings on Capitol Hill gave us the opportunity to continue advocating for the federal workforce, federal wildland firefighters, and the land we proudly steward. #NFFE #NFFEFSC #LegislativeWeek

Day 3 of Legislative Week was our busiest yet! From a full schedule of meetings on Capitol Hill to a powerful wildfire action press conference, our team spent the day advocating for the federal workforce and the communities we serve.

If Congress could hear one thing from our members, what would it be?  Ashley Letscher from NFFE Local 1836 shares her message from Legislative Week. 🇺🇸💙 #NFFE #LegislativeWeek #UnionStrong

Day 3 in DC! 🌲 A full day of meetings, a wildfire action and Save the Forest Service press conference, and more momentum for the legislation our members need. Every conversation brings us one step closer to meaningful change. #NFFE #UnionStrong #LegislativeWeek

Day 2 recap ✅John Dyche from NFFE Local 376 Yesterday we continued advocating for Forest Service employees and the public lands we serve, sharing the real world impacts of the challenges facing our workforce and the solutions Congress can support. #NFFE #NFFEFSC #LegislativeWeek

Management says they won’t replace us with AI. But “we’re gonna need that in writing,” says reporter and ProPublica podcast host Jessica Lussenhop. Here’s how you can support our fight:

Day 2- NFFE FSC Legislative Week Another successful day advocating for Forest Service employees & the lands we serve. We had good conversations, gained support for key issues & strengthened relationships with lawmakers & their staff. #NFFE #UnionStrong #LegislativeWeek

The the tune of Come Together by The Beatles. The views in the way to the @nffe.bsky.social awards ceremony where President Randy Irwin spoke. #bettertogether #nffestrong #LegislativeWeek with @iamunion.bsky.social

Tomorrow! 6/24 we would love to have friendly faces in the camera shot.

Today our members hit Capitol Hill to advocate for the Forest Service members who keep our public lands,communities, and forests running. From wildfire response & workforce retention to fair pay & employee protections, we’re ensuring federal employees are heard where decisions are made.

Monday (6/22) kicks off our annual legislative week. NFFE reps from across the country will gather in Washington DC to meet with members of Congress about legislation that matters to us. View the slides to find out what you can do to help. #wildlandfire #unionstrong #federalworkers

HAPPENING NOW! We're joining federal workers & allies to defend the Forest Service staff from Trump's attempt to destroy the agency. Call Congress & tell them to stop the reorganization that would privatize our public forests. tinyurl.com/act4usfs #SaveUSFS #ProtectOurForests

Attn NFFE-Forest Service Council Bargaining Unit Employees, We are writing to provide an update on the 0456 Wildland Firefighter series conversion and to share NFFE-FSC’s current position. We delayed releasing messaging on this topic because our research revealed a significant concern: 🧵

Huge congratulations to the fire committee, local stewards and officers for this win! #bettertogether #unionsmatter #nffestrong

“...Congress must do their jobs. We view this as not just a policy disagreement that will result in the collapse of the Forest Service as we know it, but also a breach of the Constitution. President Trump is blatantly attempting to ignore the laws his own party passed." 🧵

Welp, the email to all of us, from management, was a nest of links. The information that all employees need to know is this document we've copied and pasted for your reference. Please share widely so that nobody gets surprised this season! #telematics #besafe #nffestrong

We're working on organizing the Uintah-Wasatch-Cache national forest. #uwc #utah

Our rights weren’t given—they were fought for and won by workers who refused to accept dismal working conditions. Today, working people carry their strength in our fight for justice. #MayDay

This union brother, firefighter, silviculturalist, and vetran recently passed away. We're helping fundraise for his wife and kiddo. If you have a few $$ to spare, please consider donating to this family. Reposting helps too. www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-... #firefighter #veteran #bettertogether

Ever wondered where we have something posted? try our linktree- linktr.ee/NFFE_FSC

What is this article 11 we keep speaking of? The first couple slides explain the "what" while the subsequent slides get into the substance of the article in the Master Agreement.

35 Senators have questions for USDA/ the agency. That's 1/3 of the senators. Many are questions we and employees have been asking since day one; the non-answers from the agency are glaring. We're filing an info request + the responses to the article 11s. #savetheUSFS #bettertogether #nffestrong

Realignment guidance is out-please share widely nffe.org/nffe_news/u-...

How much do workers’ lives cost? Last year, the median federal OSHA penalty for worker deaths was only $16,550. Safety violations shouldn’t just be a cost of doing business. aflcio.org/dotj

And our firefighters are out there breathing this with zero ppe available (an n95 isn't going to help )

Everyday can be Earth Day in our jobs btwn fire fighting with right sized tactics, including MIST, slinging d-tapes (hugging trees), to ecosystem restoration and maintenance by our teams. All our jobs contribute to caring for the land and serving people. #ourworkmatters #savetheUSFS #unionstrong

Why would the Trump admin need to access federal workers’ medical records? There’s absolutely no reason. These constant attacks on federal workers jeopardizes them, their families, and the essential services we all rely on.

Reintroducing ourselves. What else would you like to know?

Please help us stop the illegal dismantling of the Forest Service actionnetwork.org/letters/cong... (we're the largest FS union representing 20,000 Forest Service employees including many of the ~7000 being forced to move) @altnps.bsky.social
