WASHINGTON, March 19, 2025—The IAM Union (International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers), the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM), along with labor and community allies, will host an event to celebrate the contributions of federal workers on Monday, March 24, 2025, during peak morning commute hours outside the L’Enfant Plaza Metro Station (Entrance C- 9th Street NW/L’Enfant Plaza).
Federal workers are the backbone of our nation, providing essential services that keep our country running. They are healthcare professionals caring for our military veterans, wildland firefighters protecting our lives and property, and park rangers watching after our national treasures. The IAM Union, America’s largest defense labor union, has the highest percentage of military veteran members in the labor movement.

“Federal employees dedicate their lives to serving the American people, often under challenging circumstances,” said IAM Union International President Brian Bryant. “It’s crucial that we take time to recognize their hard work and commitment, not just on special occasions, but every day. They are going through a difficult time. We are proud to support them with a simple thank you.”
The IAM Union invites members of the media to attend and cover this event. Visuals and interview opportunities will be available.
“Federal workers are the unsung heroes who keep our government functioning,” said Randy Erwin, National President of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM). “They deserve our respect, our support, and fair treatment. This event is a small way to show our appreciation for their dedication and service.”
