Federal workers urge congressional lawmakers to reverse job cuts

Washington — As federal workers continue to face massive layoffs, some are bringing their job search to Capitol Hill. 

The newly-formed Fork Off Coalition, composed of recently laid off government employees, held a job fair and staged a sit-in at a Senate building Tuesday. They targeted the offices of Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Tammy Duckworth and Lindsey Graham.  

Organizers have been holding informal training sessions with terminated workers over several days on the Hill. Representing an alphabet soup of agencies with various levels of tenure, each worker is paired up and dispatched to a Senator's office to share their stories.
