Fighting for Federal Employees at MCLB Albany

Dedicated to protecting the rights, benefits, and futures of civilian workers at Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Georgia.

Your Rights. Non-Negotiable

Empowering every federal employee with knowledge of their full benefit entitlements — from TSP and FERS to FEGLI and OPM.

Know Every Benefit.

Your Title V rights are law. No executive order can take them away. We are here to make sure you know that and act on it.

No Member Left Behind.

We show our members a clear path to retiring comfortably — and even retiring as millionaires through smart TSP planning.

What

We Fight

For

Your Voice in Every Room That Matters.

Too many blue-collar workers get injured and don't know their rights. We fight to make sure no member is left without support.

Retire a Millionaire. Start Now.

From new hires to retirees, military veterans to civilian employees — your union has a seat at the table for everyone.

They Push. We Push Back. Harder.

We survived COVID. We're navigating today's political headwinds. The union is here — and it's not going anywhere.

Secure Your Future. Know Your Benefits.

Learn how your money works, understand every benefit available to you, and create a plan to retire on your terms.

A Leader Driven by Purpose

From the time I was a boy watching my mom fight for workers as a union steward, I learned that knowledge is power — and that power belongs to everyone. I took the baton in 2020 and I've been running ever since. Not just for the members of Local 2317, but for every federal employee who deserves to know what they've earned.
