Shutdown Layoffs Are Off the Table Through 2026 — the Settlement Confirms Every Notice Was Rescinded and Every Separated Employee Reinstated

Federal employee unions have reached a settlement with the administration, leading to the official withdrawal of policies that authorized mass layoffs (RIFs) during government shutdowns.

Under the agreement:

Issued reduction-in-force notices from last year's shutdown are rescinded, and affected staff are reinstated.

OPM and OMB have 30 days to direct federal agencies to remove RIF provisions from their shutdown contingency plans.

Unions retain the right to reopen the lawsuit if future shutdown layoffs are attempted.

We are still here, Union Membership is More Important Than Ever - Join AFGE Today!

The administration has relentlessly attacked federal employees’ jobs, dignity, and the rights to belong to a union. They have slashed essential services provided to the American people and have made it clear that they have no plans on stopping.

The most important way for employees to protect their paychecks and have a voice on the job is through union membership. The only way AFGE can continue to fight for its members and federal workers in the workplace, in the courts, in the media, on Capitol Hill, and in the streets is if we have a strong, mobilized membership.

The Trump administration is just getting started, making good on its promises to dismantle federal agencies while firing and traumatizing the workforce. AFGE has been fighting back and winning in court.

AFGE has accomplished significant wins as the leader in the fight to protect federal employees’ jobs and services. Union membership is more important than ever.

The time to join a union is NOW!

Major Victory for Veterans!

Advocacy groups including AFGE have gathered enough signatures on a discharge petition to force a standalone House vote on the Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102 / S. 1032).

What it does:
Allows combat-injured veterans to receive both their full military retirement pay and their full VA disability benefits without offset, regardless of disability rating.

Why it matters:
Lawmakers bypassed leadership attempts to bundle the measure into a broader omnibus bill that would have cut veteran benefits, privatized VA services, and reduced workplace protections for civil service caregivers.

A floor vote in the House is expected as soon as possible, stay tunned.
