Chapter 45 NTEU

09/02/2024

Before you fire up that grill or jump into a pool, please stop for a minute to reflect what Labor has done for you as well.

Every benefit you have, regardless of whether or not you have a union representing you now, was fought for by the Labor movement and unions.

Weekends off? Union
40 hour work week? Union
Health insurance/workman’s comp? Union
Overtime pay? Union

You get the gist I’m sure. Bottom line - YOU have the benefits you need because someone fought for it all. Management rarely gives employees anything without someone protecting your interests. Thank a union member today!

Will keep you all posted on the progress made.

Please pay attention to what the current President is proposing for federal employees and retirees for FY2021. Voting for him will affect you in the wallet!

From My Federal Retirement: https://www.myfederalretirement.com/white-house-budget-2021/

“Proposed 2021 Federal Pay Raise and Slowing Frequency of Step Increases

The Administration proposes a one percent pay increase for Federal civilian employees for calendar year 2021, while also increasing funds available for on-the-spot and ratings-based performance awards. The Administration has attempted to make pay more flexible and performance-based, since across-the-board pay increases have long-term fixed costs and fail to address existing pay disparities or to target mission-critical recruitment and retention goals. A more targeted approach that rewards the top performers with the most critical skills is needed.

The Administration believes in aligning pay with an employee’s performance where possible. The existing Federal salary structure rewards longevity over performance. This is most evident in the tenure-based “step-increase” promotions that most Federal employees receive on a fixed, periodic schedule without regard to whether they are performing at an exceptional or merely passable level (granted 99.7 percent of the time). The Budget proposes to slow the frequency of these step in- creases, while increasing performance-based pay for workers in mission-critical areas.”

We are lucky to have NTEU to protect us! Tell your non-member friends to step up!

If you haven’t already, please register to vote. Our country deserves better leadership than what we have.

And I’m not talking about the POTUS only. Look at what your senators did and tell them they work for you! It’s time to take back our country, one vote at a time!

Chapter 45 is very sorry to report the passing of Kim Tinkler on October 2.
Kim retired on July 31, after many years of service to IRS and NTEU.

Kim served Chapter 45 as a steward, Chief Steward in Tulsa, and as an officer and later a director. Her husband Jim is still employed in Collection Advisory, which is where Kim retired from also. Jim is an officer for Chapter 45.

Rest in Peace my friend! You are missed by and loved by so many people.

Please keep her family in your thoughts as they deal with Kim’s unexpected passing.
