Calling All Federal Locals to ‘Get in the Queue’ - IFPTE EDues Program is Underway

IFPTE continues to roll out the new EDues program, with Locals 121 and 1 currently signing up members, and Locals 32, 1921, and 12 set to take part in phase two of the EDues program.   As all IFPTE Locals are aware, particularly federal Locals, the EDues program became necessary because of President Trump’s Executive Order eliminating Union dues payroll deduction across most federal agencies.

As the program continues to be implemented, IFPTE is encouraging federal Locals to ‘Get in the Queue’ by scheduling the EDues program at their respective Locals.  There is no cost to be a part of the EDues program and credit card fees that accompany the program will be paid by the International for the first year of dues collection. 

To join the EDues program please contact IFPTE staff, Brian Kildee (Bkildee@ifpte.org) and Pavel Gerardo (Pgerardo@ifpte.org), who are leading the program’s implementation.  We again thank all of the Locals across the IFPTE family that stepped up to support IFPTE’s federal sector by contributing to the costs of the setup of the EDues system.  THANK YOU is again in order to Locals 1, 20, 21, 70, 160, 162, 194, 195, 1921 and 2001 for your generous contributions to the EDues program!
