About Women's and Fair Practices (WFP)

The WFP department is devoted to promoting the civil, human, women's and workers' rights of federal and D.C. government workers. In 2002, the WFP responded to more than 1,000 telephone and e-mail inquiries from local presidents, coordinators, stewards, and complainants regarding the EEO complaint process, anti-discrimination laws in general, medical and/or family friendly leave, and overall workplace concerns. Since 2003, one of the department's main goals has been to research, fight against, and educate others on the vast changes championed by EEOC Chair Cari Domínguez for the agency. In protecting government workers from discrimination, the department not only works on individual cases, but it also writes policy recommendations and works on issues of importance to AFGE members. Additionally, the WFP department accepts numerous cases for direct representation from across the nation that have precedential value or will substantially impact AFGE.
