We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit AFGE Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:

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 or against legislation.

Representative Frederick Meek (D-17 FL) has introduced the Federal Correctional Workers Safety Act of 2008 (H.R. 5674). H.R. 5674 would require the Bureau of Prisons to provide a secured storage area for Bureau of Prisons (BoP) employees to store their personal firearms. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 previously provided BoP employees the right to carry personal firearms to and from prison facilities, but the lack of secure storage areas has prevented them from exercising this right.

Please use the form below to send your lawmaker a message urging them to co-sponsor H.R. 5674
