AFGE Local 1534 has been reviewing its roll and finding its way at the State Department. As the editor of the Eagle I have suggested to the leadership that AFGE move to an on-line format for the Eagle.
Department employees should use there home computers to read the Eagle. The plan is to make the Eagle an on-line means of communication that allows AFGE members to keep in touch with the goings on in our agencies or in the general union activity.
As for me -- I am retiring from the State Department as of July 31 but have offered to stay on as the editor of the Eagle. I will be working with the officers of AFGE to help make this union the kind of organization that it is supposed to be -- one that looks after the welfare of government employees and understands their needs.

This is a new blog about contracting in the government. Having had the unfortunate experience of being a whistleblower, I have learned something about how waste, fraud, and abuse happens.
