Support for the BLS

We imagine that many of you have already heard the news about last night's removal of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner, Erika McEntarfer. We are dismayed by these actions and join our partner groups, the Friends of BLS, COPAFS, APDU, and others, in calling on Congress to investigate these actions. We encourage you to read the Friends of the BLS statement, if you have not done so.

We remain firm in our support of the federal employees who work diligently to make our federal statistical system one of the best in the world and decry attempts to politicize the BLS or any other agency. We encourage members to speak out to
the extent they feel possible. If you want to talk about possible actions with
us or other groups, join our office hours this Wednesday, August 6 at 4:30 PM Eastern (registration).
