Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has received a 100% score from the American Federation of Government Employees (AFLCIO) in the first session of the 114th Congress for her leadership and key support of issues that protect the rights of the working and middle class Americans who make up the federal and D.C. workforce. AFGE, is the nation's largest federal employee union, representing more than 650,000 federal and D.C. government employees.
"As a dues paying union member, I am proud to have once again received a 100% Score from the American Federation of Government Employees. Before being elected to Congress in 1992, I formed a union to represent employees at the Dallas Veterans Hospital and I have always considered myself a part of the labor movement that stands up for working class Americans and fights for protections like a safer workplace, unemployment insurance, child labor laws, and workers compensation." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
