Survey Response

The IFPTE ACE Council greatly appreciates those readers who have answered our survey. We have received responses from bargaining unit employees in Chicago District, Mobile District, New York District, Pittsburgh District, San Francisco District, North Atlantic Division, Northwestern Division, and South Pacific Division. All of the specific issues presented in the survey were identified as important by at least some readers, and there were three issues that were marked as important by clear majorities of survey respondents: “Telework & Remote Work” (80%), “Federal Pay & Inflation” (76%), and “Federal Retirement & Pension” (68%). All three of these issues were focal points of the union’s advocacy with members of Congress and their staff during our recent IFPTE Legislative Week in Washington, DC.

Next month’s issue of this newsletter will feature an article related to the “Telework & Remote Work” issue and how you as a bargaining unit employee can best work with your union reps to make sure that your voice is heard when these policies are negotiated. In the meantime, the survey remains open for new responses, which will continue to inform future newsletter content.

Please let us know what is a priority for you!
