Historic week at IFPTE - EDues Program signs up first members

This week marked the week that the first group of IFPTE members signed up for the EDues program.  Of course this became necessary because of President Trump’s Executive Order eliminating Union dues payroll deduction across most federal agencies.  Phase one of the EDues program is well underway, with Local 121 signing up members this week, and Local 1 on schedule to begin next week, and Locals 32 and 1921 to quickly follow.  After Phase 1, IFPTE will launch Phase 2 in two weeks with federal Locals impacted by the Executive Order.  To join Phase 2 please contact IFPTE staff, Brian Kildee (Bkildee@ifpte.org) and Pavel Gerardo (Pherardo@ifpte.org), who are leading the program’s implementation.  And, 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!
