Please do not respond the the email if you are in the NWS until you receive direction from your supervisor (NBU) or NWSEO (BU). Also, a reminder that no social media platform is secure. Please consider what you share here or elsewhere with regarding this.

I have friends in central, southern, and Alaska region. It’s encouraging to hear that they’re still employed for now.

I’m choosing to feel optimistic about the news I hear from NWSEO. I know they’re fighting for us.

I’m still fighting for my job back.

MMP -20
MLSPA -20
NWSEO -50
AFSA -100
PPPWU -500
Painters -7000
Carpenters -1,000
Bricklayers -1,300
APWU -7,000
Teamsters -16,000

Not all filings are in yet, and not all unions file at this time of year. Many like CWA, IBEW, AFT have later filing dates based on fiscal year.

Thanks to my union siblings at AFSCME, and AFGE and NFFE and NATCA and NWSEO and POPA and IAFF and all the other federal sector unions out there fighting every day.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.

I’m pretty sure it is a NWSEO chapter (the NOAA union) that has a website that has a traffic light for offices, red light for bad management and lots of grievances, green light for fewer grievances.

Red light, y’all. It’s red lights, across the board. Let’s stop them.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.

NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.

My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

I retired from NOAA/NWS/NCEP/EMC in 2020. But I am wearing my old NWSEO shirt today in solidarity with nine excellent colleagues from the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) who were arbitrarily let go yesterday with almost no notice. The community is behind you so please stay strong!

No. They can’t. Litigation involving the executive branch is overseen or represented by the Department of Justice, which also answers to the president. The NWSEO union, which isn’t a federal agency, can though. But federal agencies cannot sue the president.

Bay Area Air Traffic Control Is Down to 1 Meteorologist After Trump's Hiring Freeze

“This person’s doing the job by themselves & our hands are kind of tied because of the hiring freeze," Dalton Behringer, the Bay Area office’s union steward for NWSEO.

This complaint really is a laundry list of abusive management practices

Very far from the worst thing Trump2.0 has done, still a display of managerial petit tyranny and spite

Yep. Have had to pay into a water club my entire career. And if we bring in a cake or something for a birthday we have to bring utensils for home, because there’s a GAO opinion saying the government can’t pay for our forks:

Tom Fahy of the NWS trade union NWSEO: the weather office responsible for Kerr County has neither a chief hydrologist nor a chief meteorologist. The NWS vacancy rate has roughly doubled since Trump took office. The predictions were made "early", But the lack of chief staff is "clearly questionable".

The GSA once issued an opinion stating that the federal government isn’t even authorized to purchase disposable plates and cutlery (yes, forks) for federal employees to use: www.gao.gov/products/b-3...

NWSEO (the union for NWS) announced two new agreements yesterday related to staffing shortage: nwseo.org/so/30POitTW8

The first is the acceleration of existing plans to rely more on the National Blend grids.

Highlight of my few days in Washington for the NWSEO Convention. (The highlight that didn’t involve seeing my friends. 🥹)

I largely held off from any action in hopes of hearing from NWSEO. My MIC was fighting big behind the scenes to make this happen

- NWSEO emails union members, advising them to comply with the request but with caution. They warn employees to avoid using certain terms in their responses.

Those terms include: climate, planning, policy, strategy, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
