NTEU members from around the country and across federal agencies gather in Washington, D.C. for the union’s annual Legislative Conference.
Also, during the three-day conference, there were hundreds of meetings between NTEU leaders and members of the House and Senate on a variety of issues important to the federal workforce.
Chapter 14 attended the Legislative Conference representing our area employees. Please see the congressional voting records from both the House and Senate below. We had the opportunity to meet with Congressional Leaders and present them with information about NTEU’s priority legislative issues for the prior years and stormed Capitol Hill again for 2025!
The 4-1-1 on Arbitration: Why Does It Take So Long?
1 day ago
Tags: NTEU.ORG
By law, the final step of the grievance process in a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is arbitration.
Every CBA between NTEU and a federal agency contains negotiated provisions about the arbitration process.
The decision whether to go to that final step lies with the union at the national level. Once NTEU invokes arbitration, the arbitrator is selected and notified. The assigned arbitrator is a neutral party–like a judge–who is agreed to by both NTEU and the agency.
The arbitrator will then offer both sides available hearing dates. Arbitrations take one day of hearing—and sometimes more. Arbitrators are often quite busy and are not just hearing NTEU’s cases: they are usually also selected by other federal sector unions, as well as private sector unions.
After the arbitrator offers hearing dates, both NTEU and the respective agency must agree to those dates. The assigned representative’s schedule and witness availability on both sides are additional factors. NTEU strives to schedule hearings at the earliest possible date.
