Agency’s failure to properly pay employees for work performed during their lunch break.
Back in December of 2007 a grievance was filed on behalf of all ICE LEOs and FPS LEOs
(Inspectors) concerning the Agency’s failure to properly pay employees for work performed
during their lunch break. Specifically, that these employees were receiving unpaid lunch
periods or were receiving AUO payment during lunch periods in which work was consistently
performed. Though for most employees this practice ended in 2007, this grievance covers the
time period from December 2004 until the present.
We have retained Snider & Associates, LLC to represent us in this grievance. Snider &
Associates is a national law firm that focuses its practice on Federal Sector labor and
employment law.
Since the filing of the grievance, the law has changed as to who is entitled to receive backpay
during this time period. Specifically, employees who received AUO during their lunch period will
be required to demonstrate that they actually worked during lunch and were not just on-call. Due
to this fact we are in the middle of gathering information to set forth the strongest possible case
for our bargaining member employees. Please respond by clicking on this link and answering
the questions.
After you send your responses, it is likely that an attorney from Snider & Associates will contact
you to obtain any necessary follow-up information. Please be sure to respond with a personal
email address.

IMPORTANT: This information should not be downloaded using government equipment, read
during duty time, or sent to others using government equipment, because it suggests action to
be taken in support of and/or against legislation. Do not list your government email or
government address in filling out this message, and do not use a government provided phone
for this action.
Call it the "Blame the 99%" bill – a spiteful new bill (H.R. 3813) that would force you to pay thousands more
for your pension and slash supplemental retirement benefits.
H.R. 3813 already passed a key committee, and then House leaders attached it to the must-pass Highway
Bill to achieve two sinister goals – increase the odds of passing pension cuts and steal $45 billion out of
federal employees' pockets to help cover the bill's cost.
And now the Highway Bill could see a full vote in the House as soon as this Tuesday – the same
day that hundreds of AFGE members will visit Capitol Hill to defend your pay and pensions. But if we wait
until then to express our outrage, it will be too late. Email your lawmakers today!!
Hundreds of AFGE members will be fighting back this week at our legislative conference, but that's not
enough. Your fellow AFGE members need you to speak out too in order to amplify their efforts and show
Congress that we won't back down.
