NTEU Proposal to Invest Unused Leave Payouts in TSP Encompassed in Legislation

NTEU Files FLRA Petition For Representation Election

NTEU filed a petition with the Federal Labor Relations Authority seeking an election to become the exclusive representative of a 40,000-employee Transportation Security Administration unit.  

Great team“We have enough support among Transportation Security Officers to meet the FLRA’s 30 percent criteria for filing such a petition and seeking an election,” said NTEU President Colleen M. Kelley. “I am confident that when TSOs examine the records, performance and expertise of the unions competing in such an election, NTEU will prevail.” More

New legislation that would allow retiring federal employees and those who leave federal service to deposit money received from unused annual leave into their Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) account mirrors a proposal NTEU made by last fall.

“This is a sound proposal that allows federal employees to add to their retirement accounts, boosting their savings and giving them an option for investing a lump sum of money they may receive when leaving federal service,” NTEU President Colleen M. Kelley said.

The bill, H.R. 4865, was introduced by Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), chairman, and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), ranking member, of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce.

“With this bipartisan legislation Representatives Lynch and Chaffetz not only give federal employees the chance to move their lump-sum payment into their TSP account but also help fulfill a goal established by President Obama last year,” Kelley said.

In a weekly radio address in September, President Obama proposed a variety of incentives for private sector employees to increase their savings including the ability for them to deposit lump-sum payments received when they left their positions into 401(k) accounts. NTEU immediately began exploring legislation to make this opportunity available for federal employees.

In testimony to Chairman Lynch’s subcommittee in November, President Kelley suggested similar legislation to the lawmakers. More
