Did you Know?

There is a distinct difference between being a member of the bargaining unit and being a member of the Union. If your position is covered under your agency's labor-management contract, then you are automatically a member of the bargaining unit (at no cost to you). However, you must elect to join the Union by filling out a membership form and paying the appropriate dues. Your active support, in the form of a membership, strengthens our bargaining power on both the Local (management) and National (Capital Hill) levels and will help us grow as a Union. Please consider joining the Union today.
