Local 12 is Latest Local to See Big Organizing Gains - Tops 600 Dues Paying Members

Despite ongoing efforts to fire and RIF federal workers across federal agencies, IFPTE federal sector Locals across the nation have seen significant increases in membership, the latest being Local 12 representing workers at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. 

Local 12 President, Tiera Beauchamp, commented: “As a Union, it is important for us to be transparent and lead our Local strategically during these unprecedented times. It is pretty amazing to see that our people are eager to invest in what we do every day to be their voice and protect their rights. With growth also comes increased strength and Solidarity that enables us to better represent the membership. Local 12 has surpassed 600 dues-paying members, and we expect to continue to grow despite the challenges federal workers are facing at this time.” 

Congratulations Local 12!
