Advocacy

With NTEU, you have a voice on Capitol Hill advocating for higher pay increases, affordable health insurance and a secure retirement. 

Every year, Congress make decisions about your work life: whether there will be a pay raise or a pay freeze; whether an agency sees budget cuts or increases; whether the federal health care program remains intact; whether federal work is done by federal employees or sent to a private contractor. 

Our work on Capitol Hill pays off in big ways:

Telework

Flexible Schedules

Paid Parental Leave

Student Loan Repayment

Child Care Subsidies

Awards Programs

Higher Pay Raises

Transit Subsidies

Millions in Back Pay

And the list goes on.

At the same time, we fend off perennial threats to your retirement and health care. 

The more members NTEU has, the more successful we can be in advancing beneficial legislation and blocking harmful policies from becoming law.
