Message
from the National President
Standing up for what you believe in is never easy. But
joining with others and speaking out is always the right
thing to do. Forty-five years ago more than a quarter
of a million people marched in Washington demanding jobs,
freedom, equality and more. NTEU honors their actions
and recognizes their strength.
It is a similar strength that drives NTEU members, who also
join together and speak out, fighting for dignity and respect
in the workplace for all federal employees.
This is the power of collective action and this year,
during Black History Month, NTEU pays tribute to African-American
workers who banded together and worked, with one voice,
to bring positive change. Their early actions helped pave
the road for NTEU to be a force in the federal workforce,
and we thank them.
Working together, gathering together, speaking out together.
Collective action is a timeless reflection of just demands
that cannot be suppressed; of deeply-held convictions
that cannot be ignored; of the voices of the many speaking
as one.
African-Americans, whose heritage,
accomplishments, vision and strength we celebrate during
Black History Month, and the men and women of organized
labor—of all races and creeds—know well the
power of collective action. At NTEU, we are prepared to
continue in the footsteps of those who came before us, always
recognizing that our accomplishments are possible because
of those who led the way.
