Statement by NTEU National President Tony Reardon

President Biden’s decision to revoke the ban on diversity training for federal employees reflects his commitment to attacking systemic racism in our institutions, and NTEU stands ready to help.

Any professional education program that helps us better understand and respect our coworkers of different races, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, nationalities or religious beliefs is a sign of progress in a civilized society, not a threat to it, and we believe the federal workplace can and should lead in this effort.
