Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement after introducing a resolution congratulating the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) on their 100th anniversary. NFFE celebrates their 100th anniversary on September 17.

"I join in congratulating the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) on their centennial. As the first union in the United States to solely represent federal workers, NFFE has stood up for the rights of federal employees for the past 100 years. Thanks to NFFE's years of hard work, our federal employees have better pay, better working conditions, and better retirement benefits.

"NFFE has long advocated for federal workers across many agencies, each fulfilling vital roles within our government. With the constant attacks on our federal workforce by the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress, the critical work of NFFE is more important than ever before. I know that the National Federation of Federal Employees will continue to perform their essential work over the next 100 years, and I thank them for 100 years of tireless advocacy on behalf of federal employees."

Congressman Hoyer's resolution was co-sponsored by Congressmen Elijah Cummings (MD-07), Dutch Ruppersberger (MD-02), John Sarbanes (MD-03), Gerry Connolly (VA-11), John Delaney (MD-06), Don Beyer (VA-08), Anthony Brown (MD-04), A.
