"An injury to one is an injury to all"
Why we are abstaining on the FEVS:
22 JUNE 2024
Earlier this month, we chose to encourage all Bargaining Unit employees to withhold their participation in the 2024 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) until closer to the July 5th deadline. We are doing this because we want to be able to favorably review the NY District and N. Atlantic Division Office for making a meaningful commitment to preserving telework into the future!
We have two CBA negotiation sessions scheduled for June 26th and June 28th. If the Union and Agency can tentatively agree on a Telework Article preserving the current minimums of 3 days of telework / week at the District and 4 days / week at the Division, then the Agency can expect to see large (and very favorable) participation in the FEVS in the final stretch.
All indications are that the pressure is working! Members should continue to hold the line and remind your co-workers to do the same. And be sure to attend the June 25th membership meeting where we will refine our conditions ahead of the two upcoming bargaining sessions.
Solidarity,
The IFPTE Local 98 Executive Committee
