AFGE workers huddle with president amid government shutdown debates

Cheers erupted at a picnic for D.C.-area government workers Saturday as Congress moved to pass a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown. Members of District 14, American Federation of Government Employees, carried out their annual picnic amid shutdown concerns. The local chapter of the union that represents government workers in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia, welcomed its president Everett Kelley to the afternoon festivities at the Fort Washington National Park in Maryland.
