Matt is extremely knowledgeable of federal sector labor law. But the huge added bonus is that he can easily explain in layman terms to thesteward and the grievant. We never once considered other legal help once Matt committed to our case! Matt cares and has INTEGRITY!

Mr. Gunn represented me in an arbitration hearing after I was unjustly terminated, and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. His work ethic is second to none—he’s incredibly organized, punctual, and deeply knowledgeable in his field. From our first meeting, I felt confident I was in good hands, and he absolutely delivered. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I was fully reinstated to my position, with back pay and restored leave.
In my role with our union, I’ve also seen Mr. Gunn represent numerous employees in various proceedings. His reputation among us is outstanding, and it’s clear why—he consistently shows up prepared, professional, and ready to fight for what’s right. We look forward to continuing our work with Mr. Gunn in the future.

Mr. Gunn’s work is truly inspiring. His passion and dedication to helping Members who have been aggrieved is moving. He is analytical, intelligent, and his dedication is like no other I have ever met.
I also attended a week-long training class offered by Mr. Gunn. It was intense, detailed, thought- provoking, and I know I left that training with heaps of new information plus the ability to be a better AFGE representative.
On a personal note, Mr. Gunn is also a joy to be around. He is fun and amusing, while at the same time being very firm and focused. It’s a delicate balance and his personality encompasses all the desired traits that I would sincerely hope [union] leaders recognize and value.
