IFPTE Provides Comments Opposing the Trump Administration’s Employee Nondisclosure Agreement

IFPTE International joined several IFPTE Locals, including Local 777, rank-and-file members and others in the labor movement in providing comments last week in opposition to the Trump Administration’s efforts to force federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements.   

Raising several concerns with the impact of the NDA policy, IFPTE warned that the “NDA proposal would effectively be a gag order on federal workers, will lead to the exodus of our highly skilled civilian workers, and will all but eliminate transparency that both the public and the Congress depend on.”  IFPTE also joined a Protect Democracy/Civil Service Strong-led coalition of pro-Democracy organizations in opposing the NDA proposal.
