ABOUT AFGE LOCAL 2065
Welcome to the Official website of the American Federation
of Government Employees, Local 2065. This site is intended to keep our Union members up to date on current news and local
events. It also contains the necessary tools utilized by our Union officials in supporting our members. At
the present, our Local consists of several bargaining units that are located at Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point N.C. We are
currently over 700 members strong and are constantly growing. If you are a federal employee that’s possibly
interested in becoming an AFGE union member, please give us a call so we may answer any questions you may have. Meetings
are held every third Thursday of each month. Once again, thank you for visiting and we look forward in meeting you.

WHY YOU
NEED A UNION
Union members earn better wages and benefits
than workers who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 29 percent higher than their nonunion
counterparts. While only 16 percent of nonunion workers have guaranteed pensions, fully 73 percent of union workers do. More
than 9 out of 10 union workers have jobs that provide health insurance benefits, but fewer than 7 out of 10 nonunion
workers do. Unions help employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a say in improving their
jobs.
