NTEU Endorses Average 4.1 Percent Pay Raise in 2027
Federal employees would receive an average 4.1 percent pay increase next year under legislation introduced today and endorsed by NTEU.
The Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act, sponsored by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA), would provide a 3.1 percent across-the-board increase plus an average 1 percent for locality pay.
About 85 percent of all federal employees live and work outside of the Washington D.C. region, so a raise will improve federal paychecks and boost the economy in every city and state across the country.
Watch for an NTEU legislative action alert that you, your friends and family members can use to advocate for a fair pay raise for all federal employees in 2027.
From NTEU Strong: The Power of the Congressional Visit
It may be the digital age, but citizens speaking in-person to their elected representatives remains one of the most powerful tools in our union’s legislative advocacy toolbox.
Some NTEU retirees have been channeling their advocacy and energy into meetings with their representatives and senators to inform them of our union’s issues, and they are encouraging others to give it a try.
