National Treasury Employees Union President Tony Reardon said he will step down as president of the federal labor union representing 150,000 government workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First elected to the union\u2019s highest seat in 2015, Reardon, who has been involved with NTEU for more than three decades, will retire when his term ends on Aug. 10, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is hard to leave the union that has been my professional home for more than 33 years,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cI have dedicated my career to representing NTEU\u2019s members and it has been the honor of my life to serve as NTEU national president.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reardon steered the union through the Trump and Biden presidential transitions, which posed unique challenges spanning the pandemic, the rise of telework, Schedule F and a lengthy government shutdown. He was elected to a second four-year term in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am so proud of the battles we fought and the victories we earned over the past eight years,\u201d Reardon said. \u201cThis union and our members are a strong collective force that keeps pushing. Whether at the bargaining table, in Congress, at federal courts, or at the polls, NTEU members never waiver from our mission and they are an inspiration to me every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2016, former President Barack Obama appointed Reardon to the National Council on Federal Labor Management Relations and the Federal Salary Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following his retirement, the union will hold elections for national president and national executive vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
