The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU) Region II recently convened its conference in the Washington, D.C. area. The primary focus was on the challenges faced by federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown and recent staffing reductions.
Delegates discussed how these issues are affecting federal employees in the Mid-Atlantic region. Participants highlighted concerns about job security, delayed paychecks, and uncertainty for families relying on federal employment.
The conference served as a platform for union members to share their experiences and explore possible solutions to support affected workers.
