"I am AFGE" Offers Real Picture of Federal Employees
Friday, March 28, 2014(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
A new
campaign from AFGE takes a closer look at the hardworking men and women who
are the dedicated public servants caring for our veterans, defending our
borders and keeping our food safe to eat. The campaign aims “to break down
the
stereotypes that some folks have about federal employees and the federal
government, and to highlight all the great work that federal employees are
doing,” says AFGE President J. David Cox Sr. “The best way to do this is
through federal employees’ own voices.” The campaign will revolve around 15
short-form documentaries, which will be released through the year. Each
documentary will recount the story of one member or group of members from the
same agency and explore what public service means to them and their families.
AFGE also will spread the word through traditional and social media. -
