The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest and most influential federal and D.C. employees union in the United States. And we’re growing stronger every day. In the last four years we’ve added a net increase of some 20,000 new members. Combined with 18,000 retired members, our total membership is nearly 220,000 strong. No other union represents close to that number of government employees.

AFGE is in the middle of every battle involving the well-being of federal and D.C. employees and their families. We lobby the White House, work in agencies, litigate in court and lobby in the halls of Congress. AFGE is all about producing results that positively affect our members’ lives.

AFGE membership pays for itself in member-only benefits. When you join the union, you have access to hundreds of AFGE benefits including dental insurance, car loans, legal services, computer discounts, education counseling, online college courses and degrees, low-interest credit cards, pet insurance, liability insurance, entertainment and travel discounts. These benefits are backed by the collective strength of over 10-million members of AFL-CIO unions.
