My experience with AFGE has been Great. I really feel as though my representative ( Jeff Wry) is attentive, hard working and knowledgeable about our rights. Any and every concern I have he is direct with an answer. I truly feel secure having him and AFGE backing me up. Thank you guys for everything you do for us.

"I think Jeff Wry is a great Union leader. He has helped me with an EEO complaint concerning Radiology Management. He has helped with Radiology Ultrasound issues dealing with our Supervisor mostly concerning a lack of communication with Ultrasound staff from our Supervisor. Jeff Wry has always been professional. I feel he gives very constructive advice. Sometimes, it’s what you want to hear and sometimes it’s not…which helps us trust him…helps the employee make an educated decision. An employee wants to give their best to their boss, facility etc. When there is a good working relationship, employee stay at their job. Less turn over of employees mean the facility saves money also."
