Unions Discuss Proposed FECA Changes

The APWU hosted a meeting of unions on Feb. 28 to discuss proposed changes to the Federal Employees Compensation Act. Analyzing the Federal Injured Employees Re-Employment Act (FIERA) were labor organizations that represent postal and federal workers, including the APWU, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), and others. The unions vowed to prepare a unified response to any changes to federal law that would strip injured workers of benefits.
