Statement from NTEU

As President Biden steps away from his reelection campaign, NTEU extends our gratitude for his unwavering support of federal employees, and his long and distinguished career in public service. 

Throughout his tenure as Senator, Vice President, and President, Joe Biden consistently championed the essential role of the nonpartisan civil service. His presidency has been marked by actions that have fortified the workforce and the unions that represent them. In his first week in office, President Biden repealed the anti-worker, anti-union and “Schedule F” executive orders. The Biden-Harris administration has taken action to increase labor union membership and protect the civil service to ensure federal employees can carry out their duties without fear of political reprisal.  President Biden showed his commitment to the federal workforce, including the need for competitive pay to attract and retain talent within the federal workforce. In his time in office Biden proposed and enacted the highest pay raise for federal employees in 40 years.In the remaining time of his administration, we look forward to continuing this important work together. Above all, we thank President Biden for his steadfast support, partnership, and deep appreciation for the federal employees who tirelessly serve the American people.
