Dear Members,

We understand that there are many concerns regarding the recent notice from OPM, and we want to ensure that you have the most accurate and up-to-date information before taking any action. HHS leadership has advised all employees to pause responding to the OPM email while they continue discussions with officials.

We encourage you to hold off on any decisions or responses until further guidance is provided by HHS or IHS leadership.

Your union is closely monitoring the situation and advocating for the best possible outcomes for our bargaining unit employees. We remain committed to keeping you informed and will provide updates as soon as we receive more information. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any concerns.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

In solidarity,

Ellis Miller
