Support IBEW’s Federal Workers -- Tell Your Member of Congress to Oppose DOGE’S Negligent Workforce Policies

IMPORTANT ALERT TO ALL MEMBERS EMPLOYED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:

This information should not be accessed during duty hours and/or using government-owned equipment (i.e., an agency-owned laptop, phone, or tablet). Do not use government-owned equipment (including government email addresses) to transmit these materials.

Please join the IBEW to oppose DOGE’s hasty and negligent workforce policies by taking action to prevent further privatization of government operations by unelected billionaires. National security should never be compromised by corporate interests. Please stand with IBEW members and all of the federal workers who have committed themselves to keeping this country safe and functional every day by writing your member of Congress.

Talking Points:
  • The IBEW represents 860,000 members, including thousands of veterans who work in critical government sectors like shipyards, power plants, and defense facilities.
  • IBEW electricians, linemen, and technicians maintain the nation’s power grid and infrastructure, ensuring public safety and energy reliability.
  • The federal government cannot function without IBEW’s skilled workforce.
  • A hiring freeze in key energy sectors jeopardizes the nation’s power grid, leaving it vulnerable to outages and security threats from adversaries.
  • Recent layoffs in public utilities create workforce shortages, delaying projects and endangering energy security.
  • Allowing billionaire corporate interests to dictate decisions about the government workforce is reckless and undermines the public interest.
  • Ask your Members of Congress to:
    • Oppose DOGE policies that put national security at risk
    • Prevent further privatization of government operations by unelected billionaires
    • Stand with IBEW members and federal workers who keep the country running every day
