For NTEU, this anniversary reflects seven decades of service to those we represent across
the federal workforce; for each NTEU member, her or his commitment to NTEU and
accompanying dedication to the mission of their agency is, as it always has been, reflected in effective service to the American people. By any measure, we all are an integral part of a proud past, and with an even more exciting future.
The reality is that the tradition of service and success that we—and those who came before us—helped to create is a platform from which we are able to see into the future. Our vision is one of federal employees working together to advance America and help our great nation
recognize its fullest potential.
We are determined to influence the course of our country for the better through our political activism.
We are committed to make government work better, delivering services more effectively and efficiently to more people, by demanding that our collective voices be heard in the workplace.
We will continue to right the wrongs, large and small, by standing together, no matter how long it takes.
This is the essential message of Labor Recognition Week 2008. So much accomplished by so many over such a long time. Yet, so much remains to be done. Together.
