Awards update - IRS Messes it up as usual! This message is from Colleen Kelley: This is a followup to my emails late last week about the problems with the awards data provided by the IRS. We pulled the NPAA 07 data off the web site because chapters were finding so many errors with it. In a perfect world, all we should have to do with the data file the IRS sends us is break it into separate files for chapters. Unfortunately, we have never been so lucky under the award system IRS insisted we put in place in 2002. So far, we have found many of the normal errors indicating that not everyone was paid correctly, but also that the data on entire chapters is missing, many employees are labeled as being in one division when other data provided by the IRS has them in another division, the pools cannot be reconstructed, etc. When management insisted in 2002 that we replace the local awards system with a national program, we told them they would not be able to run it correctly. However, even I expected that after three years they would finally get it down right. They now have a five-year record of being unable to avoid even the huge mistakes. So, let me just end by passing on that there is a “high-level” meeting in AWSS tomorrow to try to figure out what happened. I will let you know what we learn from that.

Statement of Member Rights and Officer Responsibilities
SUMMARY: The DOL has issued a new regulation that requires federal sector unions to notify members of their rights and the responsibilities of union officers. The regulation requires chapters that have web sites to provide a link to a statement of those rights and responsibilities. Members can access the statement by visiting this link: http://www.nteu.org/memberrights.aspx or by visiting the NTEU web page and clicking on the button in the left hand column entitled “Member Rights.” NTEU has, as permitted by the regulation, included additional useful information not found in the DOL web site notice.
