Government Funding a Priority as Shutdown Threat Grows Closer

Congress is working on a stopgap funding bill to fund the government until Nov. 21, right before the Thanksgiving recess. However, there is not bipartisan agreement on this approach.

Lawmakers are facing a tight timeline, and with only two scheduled session days for Congress after this week, both the House and Senate need to act quickly to send a funding agreement to the president in order to avoid a shutdown before the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. 

NTEU continues to urge Congress to provide agencies with the funding necessary to meet their missions. Make your voice heard.

National Voter Registration Day is Here

On National Voter Registration Day, NTEU is reminding our members that there’s no “off-year” for making sure you’re ready to vote. There are more than 100,000 local and state elections this fall, and next year voters decide who will serve in all U.S. House seats and 35 U.S. Senate seats.

While voter turnout often dips for midterm elections when the president is not on the ballot, these elections are especially important for federal employees. Members of Congress have a say about your pay, benefits and workplace rights. At this critical moment for NTEU and our members, it’s important that we work collectively to elect members of Congress who are going to support federal employees and your right to union representation.

The first step is making sure you’re registered to vote here. Then, watch for more information about getting involved in NTEU’s election programs and making a difference in the months ahead.
