In June of 2015, AFGE Local 1922, representing employees at various commands at Ft. Stewart, Georgia, filed a grievance against the Army on behalf of all bargaining unit employees. The Grievance alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Title V (FEPA), among other violations.
The Law Offices of Snider and Associates, as the legal representatives for the Union, are working hard for the bargaining unit employees to ensure that their rights under federal law are upheld.
The Agency disputed that the Union’s Grievance was viable and Arbitrator Dennis Nolan was selected to resolve the dispute. In June of 2016, Arbitrator Nolan ruled in favor of the Union. Since then, the Union and Agency have held arbitration hearings, which concluded in 2021. The Parties are preparing to submit the case to Arbitrator Nolan for final resolution.
All bargaining unit employees who were represented by AFGE 1922 and employed at certain commands at Fort Stewart between June 2012 and February 2021, whether or not they are members of the union, and regardless of position or pay grade, are covered by this grievance and could potentially benefit from a successful result.
