To organize federal employees to work together to ensure that every federal employee is treated with dignity and respect.

We believe federal employees deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

We are the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), a forward-thinking organization that believes in good government and the rights of every federal employee. 

NTEU has delivered many of the programs, benefits, and rights you value in your workplace. We are the driving force behind higher pay raises, telework programs, alternative work schedules, paid parental leave, FMLA, transit subsidies, and many other gains. In federal courts, NTEU has won precedent-setting victories for federal employees, including higher overtime rates and millions in back pay for those denied their proper compensation.

As an NTEU-represented employee, you have benefits, programs and resources well beyond what another federal employee may receive. That’s because we negotiate the most innovative contracts in the federal government that include performance awards, expanded telework, alternative work schedules, workplace protections, advancement opportunities, and more. And we enforce those agreements through vigorous representation of our members in arbitrations, administrative forums, the courts and more.

NTEU is where you are—in your workplace, solving problems, making sure you’re treated fairly, answering questions, and negotiating local agreements to improve your work life. An investment in NTEU is an investment in your future. Join us today.

Who We Are

NTEU is comprised of a diverse group of individuals who share in common a commitment to public service. We proudly represent law enforcement officers, scientists, attorneys and cyber-security experts. Our members are revenue officers, food inspectors, bank examiners, park rangers and the list goes on. Each of these federal workers plays an important role in keeping the country running and prospering.

What We Do

Our union is the voice of the federal workforce on Capitol Hill, in the courts, at the bargaining table and in the media. We fight for fair pay and benefits, improved working conditions and other issues that affect the working lives of federal employees. We were created in 1938 to make sure federal employees are treated with respect and dignity. That remains our mission to this day and will continue to guide our work in the 21st Century and beyond.

Where We Are

NTEU is where you are. Our chapters are in 38 agencies across the country. Our headquarters are in Washington, D.C., and we have field offices in Washington; Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Chicago; Denver; Hoboken, N.J.; and Oakland, Calif. Highly-trained stewards and chapter leaders are in NTEU-represented workplaces nationwide to help employees solve issues—big and small.

Workplace Rights: NTEU works to protect employee rights including fair and transparent workplace policies and practices and due process rights. Learn more

1. There’s real strength in numbers. The many rights and benefits enjoyed by federal employees didn’t come easily. No one handed them to us, not Congress, not the White House, not any federal agency. NTEU members won them, at the bargaining table, through legislation, and by having a voice in the workplace where policies are implemented on a day-to-day basis.
   
2.  NTEU can help you be successful in your workplace. Because management knows we speak for everyone in the bargaining unit, we can influence workplace rules in ways that make sense for employees and America’s taxpayers. We turn back legislative attempts that harm federal employees and advocate for policies and laws that support you and help you do your job more successfully.
   
3. We take on big picture issues like pay and the smaller stuff that gets under your skin at work. NTEU leads the way in fighting to retain and improve your pay and benefits, and our day-today workplace representation is second to none. No one does it better than NTEU.
   
4. With NTEU, your opinion matters. As a member, you have a vote in electing your chapter leaders; you can play an active role in your chapter’s affairs; and you ratify new contracts NTEU has bargained on your behalf.
   
5. You receive substantive information on what’s going on, both in your workplace and throughout the federal sector. There’s a print newsletter—the NTEU Bulletin—to put issues in context. For more immediate news, NTEU has an electronic e-Bulletin. There are also a number of specialized electronic publications and updates on such key issues as where bargaining stands. All of which makes for the most informed bargaining unit in the federal sector.
