Federal employees would get their most significant pay raise in 43 years under President Biden’s announcement that officially proposes to increase salaries by an average of 5.2 percent.
According to the Federal Salary Council, frontline federal employees earn 24.09 percent less than people in similar private sector jobs, so Biden’s plan would help chip away at that deficit and make federal employment more competitive. Federal salaries have not kept pace with inflation in recent years, making it harder for employees to keep up with rising prices.
Compared to the extreme platforms of some presidential candidates to eliminate entire federal agencies and lay off hundreds of thousands of federal workers, seeing the White House treat the workforce with respect is gratifying.
Congress has been silent on a federal pay raise, deferring to the president’s proposal for an average 5.2 percent pay increase next year.
NTEU will continue fighting for YOU!
However, NTEU cannot WIN without your support!
I urge you to stand with NTEU and ME as we continue fighting for Chapter 228, you, our rights, and our Collective Bargaining Agreement. DOE Management wants to divide our contract based on 40 years of collective bargaining at DOE. DOE Management has proposed actions that would remove your rights and benefits, reduce your flexible privileges, punish your union leaders and stewards, and put Chapter 228 in damage! DOE
Management is working to prevent NTEU from advocating for DOE employees and their rights. NTEU "AND YOU" must act together to protect our contract, fairness, and quality of life.
Stay observant.
Stay tuned.
Join NTEU
Working Together, We Will Win.

NTEU Defeats DOE’s Restrictive Hoteling Requirement
More teleworking employees will be able to keep their dedicated workspace after the Federal Service Impasses Panel (FSIP) rejected the agency’s plan to require hoteling for those who report to the office less than six days per pay period.
The order, issued last week, sides with NTEU’s proposal that hoteling be required only for employees in the office at least five days per pay period. After numerous rounds of negotiations, the agency remained obstinate in its position, which was unfair to employees on a 4-10 schedule. Despite our best efforts, the parties could not reach a resolution, leading to an impasse. Consequently, the FSIP assumed jurisdiction over the issue. Following a brief mediation, an arbitration was held, and ultimately, the appointed Panel member decided strongly in favor of the union.
In her decision, the arbitrator said DOE “failed to provide any sort of empirical data or methodology” to back up its assertions about the high cost of single dedicated workspaces. What’s more, the arbitrator wrote, the agency failed to explain how adding one day to the in-office requirement makes a significant difference in the cost of workspaces.
This is an important win that makes it clear that agencies can’t arbitrarily propose telework requirements or restrictions that may harm employees and disrupt their arrangements. Employees who report to the office less than six days per pay period will continue to enjoy their dedicated workspaces, thanks to NTEU.
Support the union that wins telework in your contract and fights to protect your rights.
