NTEU Chapter 103

October 28, 2025

Action Center

The standards of conduct provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA), among other statutes, guarantee certain rights to Federal employees who exercise their statutory right to become a member of a union representing Federal employees. The provisions also impose certain responsibilities on officers of these unions to ensure union democracy, financial integrity, and transparency. The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) is the Federal agency with primary authority to enforce many standards of conduct provisions. If you need additional information, please contact OLMS at 1-866-4-USA-DOL FREE. If you suspect a violation of these rights or responsibilities, you should refer to your union’s constitution and bylaws for information on union procedures, timeliness, and remedies. Complaints may be filed with OLMS after exhaustion of reasonable internal union remedies. See 29 C.F.R. §§ 452.135, 458.54.

2022 Chapter Election

The 2022 Chapter election is almost upon us. The voting instructions have been finalized and you should start receiving them by 10/7/22. The voting process begins on that date and closes on 10/31/22 at 3 PM PST.

In the grueling race that is the 100+ mile race from Baker, CA to Las Vegas, NV, the LA/LB Seaport brought their best and brightest. This year’s group of men and women fought through pain, exhaustion and high temperatures to capture the 6th place spot in the IX800 category (20 runners whose ages add up to at least 800; mixed category).

As many of you know, NTEU Chapter 103 provides support to the Baker to Vegas team for Customs and Border Protection in the Los Angeles/Long Beach Seaport. This support has been provided for many years as it encourages the principled efforts of employees to compete in a grueling 100+ mile race from Baker, CA to Las Vegas, NV.

NTEU Delegates Elect Tony Reardon!!

For the first time in the history of NTEU, a national president is elected without having worked as a federal employee. During the 55th NTEU National Convention, delegates looked at Tony Reardon's 25+ year history with NTEU as a staff member and rewarded him with the position of National President. Tony Reardon received over 89% of the votes cast.

Working with Congress

NTEU Members, During the last 6 years, I have informed CBP employees that they can no longer sit by and wait for others to take up the call to fighting injustice in the workplace. Federal Employees have withstood an onslaught of attacks. We had 3 years of a cost of living freeze to our pay.
