Programs described in its return (3)
- The Officers and Stewards of Local 1658 continued to provide Representational Services to bargaining unit employees and non-bargaining unit employees on a daily basis in FY 2025. We were continuously successful ensuring that employees were treated fairly and equitably by using both formal established procedures as well as employing informal processes. We were able to consistently obtain successful results in resolving labor-management disputes. We also frequently took proactive steps to prevent issues from becoming problems for employees.
- In April 2022 AFGE Local 1658 initiated Negotiations on a new Term Labor-Management Agreement that had stalled during the Covid Pandemic. Regular negotiation sessions with management began in October 2022 and the parties met weekly after that throughout FY 2023 and early FY 2024. Progress has stalled and the Parties have engaged the Federal Labor Relations Authority FLRA to resolve differences. At the end of 2025 no Agreement had been reached. In addition Local 1658 frequently was required to negotiate smaller Memorandum of Agreements on issues that arose that were not specifically covered in the existing Labor-Management Agreement.
- AFGE Local 1658 pursues aggressive Legislative Action on behalf of employees that we represent. The Local had Representatives attend the annual AFGE Legislative Conference in Washington D.C. where we met with all Michigan Members in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. There we presented the Locals position on numerous issues that are critical to federal employees such as pay job security working conditions and Union Rights. Local 1658 Representatives made frequent follow-up visits and calls to our Congressional Representatives and Senators in Michigan to fight the current administrations executive order to eliminate collectiive bargaining in the DoD
