National President Tony Reardon urging House members to oppose legislation that aims to use debt limit crisis as a way to rescind billions of funding for IRS and require devastating funding cuts to NTEU-represented agencies. House is scheduled to vote on the bill tomorrow.

[Unions_Rock @RockUnions]

While Congress must act to suspend or raise debt limit to prevent default, House proposal targets critical resources agencies need to effectively serve American public, Reardon wrote yesterday in letter to every House member. Debt limit addressed without slashing agency funding.

28th anniversary of Oklahoma City bombing. On April 19, 1995, 168 people—federal workers, members of public and children—were killed in attack against our government and those who proudly serve. As we remember those who lost their lives, remember those who carry on their work.

NTEU will continue to work with the administration and agencies to increase telework where appropriate and will strongly oppose efforts to scale back telework opportunities for frontline federal employees with portable work.

[Unions_Rock @RockUnions]

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released new guidance to federal agencies that advised agencies to “substantially increase meaningful in-person work.” This guidance does not and cannot change negotiated telework programs in NTEU’s collective bargaining agreements.

[Unions_Rock @RockUnions]

Federal employees have shown that telework works. An essential benefit that helps employees with work-life balance, maintains productivity, and assists agencies in recruiting and retaining skilled employees. NTEU has seen no evidence to justify any change from that position.
