WELCOME TO AFGE LOCAL 1916 WEBSITE

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union, representing 600,000 U.S. government workers nationwide and overseas. Workers in virtually all functions of government at every federal agency are represented by AFGE.  AFGE has been affiliated with the AFL-CIO ever since its founding in 1932.
 
AFGE Local 1916 consists of scientists, engineers, geologists, accountants, and many more professionals.  Our Local represents all technical, clerical, and professional non-managerial employees of three large research laboratories:  the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Pittsburgh Research Laboratory, and the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory.  Both labs are located on a large (200 acre), historic research site in South Park, PA.

At the DOE-NETL we conduct in-house research and development (R&D) and we fund R&D through the private sector and academia.  Our R&D covers every aspect of the environmentally sound use of fossil fuels, from extracting and transporting to final conversion to electricity, chemicals and other end-use products.  NIOSH is involved in all aspects of the health and safety of miners and first responders.
 
The hard working employees of Local 1916 are dedicated to making America's energy sources secure and environmentally sound for the future generations.
