The AJC supports the AFGE

It has now been more than three weeks since the US government was shut down, locking out almost 400,000 federal workers and forcing another 400,000 deemed "essential" to show up to work without pay.

We have a special sympathy for the plight of American federal employees, as our members and the majority of Canadian federal employees understand all too well the often devastating consequences of working without pay since the disastrous Phoenix pay system was put in place here three years ago.

Your AJC President has reached out to our American counterparts to express our solidarity. You can read the letter here.
