NTEU: The Union for Federal Employees

Bulletin Highlights NTEU Fight
Against the Sequester

NTEU is continuing to harness its power in numbers and take collective action to oppose the sequester.

This month's Bulletin offers a look at NTEU's efforts in Congress and at agencies where employees are slated for furloughs.

Here's What You Can Do: Visit the Sequestration Information Center to contact Congress and encourage others to do the same.

Thousands of people, some of whom may be federal employees, have been affected by the two-mile wide tornado that destroyed a more than 22-mile swath of homes and businesses.

For impacted federal employees, help is just a phone call away. Over the years the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA) has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency assistance funds to federal employees harmed by natural disasters, like this one.

Federal employees who contribute today will triple their impact through a sponsorship from Blue Cross/Blue Shield and GEICO. Individual donations to FEEA will be tripled through the end of the month.

Please consider a donation to support the important work FEEA does and to help federal employees who may have suffered damage from this week's devastating tornado. Encourage friends and family members to donate as well so that FEEA has the resources to provide emergency assistance to every deserving applicant who seeks help. Visit www.FEEA.org.

Legislative Action

Ask your members of Congress to oppose legislation (H.R. 1780) to push federal employees out of the FEHBP and into the insurance exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act.
