🛑 AFGE Fights Back Against $50 Billion in Federal Retirement Cuts

AFGE is actively mobilizing against House Republican efforts to slash $50 billion from federal retirement benefits under FERS. The cuts would:

• Increase employee contributions to 4.4% for all workers.
• Change pension calculations from “high-3” to “high-5” salary years.
• Eliminate the early retirement supplement.
• Coerce new hires into giving up civil service protections.
• Charge fees for Merit Systems Protection Board appeals.

These proposals are part of Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax package and would devastate recruitment, retention, and morale in federal service—especially among older workers and those in mission-critical roles like the VA .
