WASHINGTON, DC — A letter titled “No Bad Budget in Our Name” will be delivered today to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Through a private sign-on letter, the Federal Unionists Network and 35 local, council, and national unions representing tens of thousands of federal workers are calling on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to oppose any budget that undermines access to affordable healthcare for millions of Americans or weakens Social Security, the VA, scientific agencies, regulatory protections, and the other services and programs tens of millions of Americans rely upon, even if it means a government shutdown. From the letter:

"A government shutdown is never Plan A. Federal workers and the communities we serve will face severe hardship. But federal workers will willingly forego paychecks in the hopes of preserving the programs we have devoted our lives to administering.”

Federal workers and their unions are calling on Congress to refuse any budget that further weakens critical public services and programs that millions of Americans rely upon.
