Here at Harris Federal Law Firm, we help countless federal workers who are members of a union. Additionally, we offer discounts to those who are affiliated with one. Unions have the power to impact pay, work hours, benefits, and workplace safety. A couple of the unions we work with are The Air Marshal Association (AMA) and the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).
AMA
The AMA solely represents Federal Air Marshals (FAMS). More than 65 percent of Air Marshals are members. They represent all levels of discipline for Air Marshals.
NTEU
This is the largest independent union of federal employees. It covers 150,000 employees in 31 departments or agencies. Some of the employees the NTEU represent are Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs), cyber-security experts, scientists, and attorneys. Members of the NTEU include bank examiners, park rangers, revenue officers, and much more. NTEU prides itself on fighting for fair pay, improving working conditions and helping improve the working lives of federal employees.
Pay
This is their top priority. They support locality pay and emphasize that federal pay is far behind private sector pay. One of their missions is to fight for a proper overtime pay as well.
Retirement
The NTEU worked with Congress to create the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). They are always fighting to improve and expand investment options for federal employees.
Sequestration
Their fight here is to end sequestration. Simply put, it results in furloughs, hiring freezes, and hurts employee training.
Work Life Balance
They advocated for the Alternative Work Schedule and telework for federal employees. The NTEU are strong supporters of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Currently, their battle lies with getting paid parental leave.
