We negotiate innovative employee contracts that improve work-life balance and make the federal workplace competitive with the private sector. NTEU bargains alternative work schedules, telework, transit subsidies, performance awards and more.
In federal courts, NTEU has won precedent-setting victories on behalf of the federal workforce and secured millions of dollars in back pay for improperly-compensated employees.
Trained NTEU local leaders, supported by lawyers and professional NTEU staff, represent members in grievance arbitration’s and unfair labor practice hearings. They also enforce the terms of negotiated contracts.
