The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) is a national union representing approximately 110,000 blue and white collar government workers across the United States. Ratifying its constitution on September 17, 1917, NFFE is the oldest union representing federal employees. NFFE locals are spread throughout the United States and the world: from Florida to Alaska, Puerto Rico to Hawaii, and most everywhere in between, NFFE fights for the rights of federal employees both home and abroad. Affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, NFFE and IAM work together to ensure that America's civil servants get the respect they have earned. Our mission is to advance the social and economic welfare and education of federal workers through our continued work in organizing units of federal employees, representing their interests through collective bargaining, lobbying for legislative action, fighting for better working conditions, and promoting labor-management partnerships in agency decision-making.
