Help Boost the Ranks at Customs and Border Protection

NTEU is urging prompt approval of legislation that would authorize more than 6,000 additional frontline workers at the nation’s air, land and sea ports of entry over the next five years. H.R. 5662 would also provide an additional $5 billion for the General Service Administration to help address infrastructure deficiencies at land ports of entry. Take Action

Support Collective Bargaining Rights for TSA Employees

New legislation, H.R. 3212, was introduced by Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) after political maneuvering by Senate Republicans resulted in the removal of a legislative provision that would have provided Transportation Security Administration employeese collective bargaining rights.

Join NTEU's fight to give TSA workers a meaningful voice in their workplace.


Make Health Care More Affordable for Federal Employees and Retirees

Legislation has been introduced this Congress that would ease the burden of health insurance costs on federal employees and retirees:

• Reps. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Frank Wolf (R-Va.) introduced H.R. 1256, a bipartisan bill to increase the federal government’s share of health benefit premiums for employees and retirees from the current average of 72 percent to an average of 80 percent. Support this bill.

• Legislation has been introduced in the House and Senate that would allow federal and military retirees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for health insurance premiums, as active federal workers already do. Support the Senate bill. Support the House bill.
