what are federal employees

Federal employees are individuals who work for the federal government. This includes politicians, judges, heads of departments, administrative, professional, and other workers who help the government operate and provide its services. They work in the executive branch and are responsible for carrying out key government functions such as ensuring food safety, investigating criminal activity, providing emergency care, and developing science and technology. Federal employees have the right to organize, bargain collectively with their employers, and choose whether to participate in labor organizations without fear. They choose government employment for reasons such as job security and the opportunity to serve the public.
