Welcome to the AFGE Local 4051 homepage.
AFGE Local 4051 is your Union at FCI Manchester. We are here to help and insure that you have a voice. Only with your input and participation can we all continue to work in a safe, secure facility. Get involved today and have your voice heard!
Remember that the monthly Union meeting is held on the last Thursday of every month at 4:30 PM in the Staff Training Center. However, if there is a holiday during that week and then it is usually scheduled for the week prior.
THE AFGE LOCAL 4051 IS WORKING FOR YOU!!!
What new issues will we face in the future? With downsizing, privatization, restricted funding and the continued assault on your rights as an employee no one can be certain. But we will be here to fight for you and your family every step of the way. And rest assured we will use every method we have to keep you informed of the latest issues.
Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page. We have compiled a list of questions we receive on a regular basis on everything from becoming a member to how a roster committee works. As time goes on, and we receive more questions from you we will be adding them to give you one of the best resources available to inform and educate you on your rights and responsibilities.

If you see any mistakes, find broken links, have an idea or if you would like to help with the website please contact the Webmaster Corey Walterson, or Dan Ludwig, Union President. Or just shoot us an email and tell us what you think. Your opinion matters. We are the body. Without your input, there is very little that we can address. This is a collaborative effort! So help me help you. I would like to hear from every shift and every department. This is your challenge. Give me an issue or topic of interest to cover and I will put it out there. Thank you!
The next monthly meeting will be on January 26, 2012 at 4:30
PM at the Training Center!
Government Shutdown Averted
Only a few hours before the current stopgap spending measure expires at midnight, President Obama and congressional leaders tonight reached a budget deal for the rest of the fiscal year after right-wing lawmakers dropped their demand to defund Planned Parenthood. The deal will include $39 billion in spending cuts for the rest of fiscal 2011. Lawmakers also approved a short-term stopgap funding to give them time to craft the long-term legislation.
“In the final hours before our government would have been forced to shut down, leaders in both parties reached an agreement that will allow our small businesses to get the loans they need, our families to get the mortgages they applied for, and hundreds of thousands of Americans to show up at work and get their paychecks on time,” President Obama said.
AFGE Sues Government for Requiring Workers to Work without Promise of Payment
AFGE today filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging that ordering federal employees to work during a government shutdown violates the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit contends that the Obama administration is violating the U.S. Constitution’s Appropriations Clause and Thirteenth Amendment by requiring federal civilian employees to work without pay during a period of lapsed federal appropriations. “Hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be required to work during a shutdown, and there’s no guarantee that Congress will keep the administration’s promise to pay those employees once the shutdown is over,” AFGE President John Gage said. AFGE last week filed a lawsuit seeking shutdown plans.
Bill Introduced in Senate to Ensure Furloughed Employees Get Retroactive Pay
Thanks to AFGE’s lobbying efforts, Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Benjamin Cardin, and Jim Webb, D-Va., today introduced a bill that would ensure that furloughed employees will get paid if the government shuts down. A similar bill has been introduced in the House by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va.
Feds to Face 5-Year Pay Freeze, Reduced Retirement Benefits under Right-Wing’s 2012 Budget Proposal
AFGE is sending a letter to lawmakers urging them to vote against House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s irresponsible budget proposal for fiscal 2012, which contains wildly inaccurate numbers regarding federal and private sector wages. Under the proposal, Rep. Ryan, R-Wis., wants to freeze federal pay through 2015 and require federal employees to pay extra 6.2 percent of their salaries into their pension plans. Rep. Ryan wants to “boost private-sector employment” by cutting federal jobs by 10 percent through attrition in the next three years. That will mostly lead to expensive outsourcing because somebody still needs to do the work. The House Budget Committee chairman also wants to further deprive federal agencies by freezing their budgets at the 2008 levels for five years.
