Why is TEPAC necessary?
TEPAC is the political arm of NTEU and is extremely important to our legislative program. TEPAC allows NTEU to support members of Congress who work to protect and defend the rights of federal employee and retirees. TEPAC also helps to defeat members of Congress who are not supportive of NTEU’s causes.
Why doesn’t NTEU use some of my dues money to make a political contribution?
Federal law prohibits NTEU from using union dues money for political contributions. TEPAC relies on voluntary contributions.
What criteria are used to determine who receives a TEPAC contribution?
NTEU exercises great care in deciding who should receive TEPAC funds. If the candidate is an incumbent, the decision is based on:
• Candidate’s voting record on NTEU issues
• Relevant leadership or committee assignment
• Relationship between candidate and local NTEU chapters
• NTEU member’s recommendation.
If the candidate is a challenger with no prior congressional experience, the decision is based on:
• Personal interview with the candidate
• Responses to questionnaire on federal employee and retiree issues
• What attempts the candidate has made to establish a relationship with local NTEU chapters
• If applicable, candidate’s record from state or local office
• NTEU member’s recommendation.
