Chapter 260 had its humble beginnings in 1994. Our leadership throughout the years has been diverse in
experience both in government and private sector. Our purpose is to represent the Bargaining Unit
Employees (BUE) in the Dallas Regional Office. The average Bargaining Unit Employee size is 500 which
fluctuate with transfers and retirements.
The main purpose of Chapter 260 is to represent the BUE in all aspects of the Contract and to answer
any question about it. We accomplish the task by educated both the Bargain Unit Employee and
Management.
If you have any question please contact one of the Board Members or Stewards.
The Board
Mission Statement
With experience representing federal employees since 1938, NTEU is widely known as a smart, tough,
and well-respected organization that is determined to represent employees before federal agencies,
Congress, and in the courts to protect and promote their rights.
From Humble Beginnings
Since its earliest days, NTEU has been driven by the principle that every federal employee should be
treated with dignity and respect and has grown to represent some 150,000 bargaining unit employees in
31 federal agencies and departments. NTEU's hallmark is professional, job-site representation. Our
members are represented by dedicated, highly-trained leaders at their workplaces. NTEU provides an
effective voice for federal employees on Capitol Hill, at the White House, in the courts and with the media.
The union's Organizing Department handles inquiries from federal employees regarding NTEU
representation. Assuming there is sufficient interest on the part of employees at a given agency, we work
with our supporters in the workplace to build on that interest with the goal of petitioning the Federal Labor
Relations Authority for a union election to elect NTEU as the exclusive representative in the workplace.
During an election, our organizers work as a team with agency employees to communicate the benefits of
NTEU representation. E-mail us with questions.
History

Federal Agency. Colleen M. Kelley is our National President and ex - IRS employee. Consequently, IRS

divisions in the Dallas Region (Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and
western Tennessee). Chapter 260 has been driven by the principle that every federal employee should be
treated with dignity and respect.
