Many federal workers in Kansas City have seen their jobs and departments cut and their work devalued under the Trump administration. We're bringing you another conversation about the Department of Government Efficiency's impacts in town, this time with a local union representative for the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
KCUR's Nomin Ujiyediin spoke with Shannon Ellis, an IRS employee who works in the customer service department and is president of the National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 66 — representing more than 6,000 employees.
If you’re a current or former federal employee and you want to talk to KCUR about your work, email Nomin at nomin@kcur.org.
