PTSP Reimbursement Issues when Promoted
“When I was promoted to a new position in a new location, I had an unique reimbursement issue with PTSP. Once NTEU Chapter 65 president stepped in, my PTSP issues were quickly and efficiently resolved. It is a shame I wasn't able to get the price change - but thank you so much for helping to ensure future employees in the same situation will be reimbursed!”

Unfair & Unsubstantiated Performance Appraisal & PIP
“When I received my annual performance appraisal 6 months late, I was shocked!!! Some ratings were lowered and I received a PIP letter recommending a reduction in grade and possible termination. I am so grateful for the professional hard work and guidance the chapter 65 president and stewards provided. I won my grievance and the PIP letter withdrawn. Thanks for the exceptional service Chapter 65!!!”

NTEU 65 Provides Valuable Support
“I am forever grateful to NTEU Chapter 65 and their extremely knowledgeable president. I am so appreciative for his unwavering commitment, flexibility, support, attention to detail, step-by-step advice and generosity. It took a career-shattering experience for me to see how essential NTEU 65 is for IRS employees. I am convinced without the intelligent, passionate, amazing, reliable, honest, and positive attitude of NTEU Chapter 65 president, my complaint would have been ignored."

NTEU 65 Is a Lifesaver!
“I am forever thankful to NTEU Chapter 65 and their extremely knowledgeable President, Mr. Pollard. I am so grateful for his unwavering commitment, support, attention to detail, step-by-step advice, and compassion. I know 100% that without Mr. Pollard’s unwavering pursuit for fairness and advocating for me, my issues would have been ignored and my situation would have been beyond distressing and most-likely a career-shattering experience for me. The amount of time and effort my concerns consumed was huge, but Mr. Pollard never gave up. Instead he continued to elevate my case as high as it was necessary. He convinced me to stay the course."

Their voluntary acts of servitude have been invaluable to me and the future of my career within the agency. I can breathe a sigh of relief, that no matter what happens, the union is there to support me.
