Federal employees are there to help their fellow Americans every day—especially when crisis hits—and NTEU is there to help those in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
Here is how we are working to help our members affected by Harvey’s strong winds and devastating flooding:
Working with Agencies and Our Chapters
The safety of federal employees is our number one priority. NTEU is in close contact with our chapters in the affected areas and is working with agencies to ensure all employees are accounted for.
We understand that employees will need time to recover from the storm’s damage. NTEU stands ready to deal with any
workplace issues employees may encounter in the aftermath, including administrative leave for office closures and time off to deal with storm damage.
Financial Assistance
As part of a special emergency assistance initiative, NTEU will match—dollar for dollar—up to $30,000 in donations to a fund providing emergency assistance to federal employees of NTEU-represented agencies harmed by Hurricane Harvey.
All donations made to the NTEU Fund at the Federal Employees Education and Assistance (FEEA) Fund will be doubled—up to $30,000. FEEA is the only organization that provides emergency assistance solely to federal employees.
