NFFE Newsroom

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Last week, NFFE participated in the IAM Unity and Growth Conference in San Diego, California.

After nearly eight years leading the Machinists Union, IAM International President Robert Martinez Jr. has announced that he will retire, effective Jan. 1, 2024. IAM Resident General Vice President Brian Bryant will succeed Martinez as the IAM’s next international president. 

This week NFFE received notice from the FLRA that the Forest Service violated the Work Schedules Act with the unilateral decision to institute 5/8 work schedules without giving NFFE the opportunity to bargain over the policy change.

A big congratulations goes out to NFFE Locals 1904, 346, 1650, 2198, and 1.

A big congratulations goes out to NFFE Locals CE-6, CE-14, 1650, 1836, and 346.

Last week, in response to legal challenges by NFFE and other unions, the FAA notified employees that it would be pausing any planned changes to telework.

Last week, NFFE received a favorable decision from the Federal Service Impasse Panel, which grants NFFE-IAM Local 476 members an extra telework day per pay period.

In less than two weeks, NFFE has been elected to represent three new bargaining units of federal land management employees.
