Our Issues

One crucial way we leverage our collective strength to bring about meaningful change is by getting involved in the legislative process. 

NTEU Sets Legislative Priorities for 2026

NTEU's Legislative Advisory Committee (LAC) met in January to recommend the union's priority issues for the second session of the 119th Congress.

The committee, comprised of NTEU members representing a wide swath of agencies and workplaces, recommended these topline priority legislative issues to National President Doreen Greenwald. Given the numerous attacks on the federal workforce, the LAC recommended that the priority for this year should be preventing the politicization of the civil service by focusing on three main issues:

  • Defending workplace rights  

  • Protecting pay and benefits

  • Fulfilling agency missions  

Watch for additional information on these priorities and how you can get involved. To contact your members of Congress about these issues and more, visit the NTEU Action Center
