National Treasury Employees Union President Tony Reardon was the first featured guest on today’s episode of the AWF Union Podcast. He spoke about union organizing during the pandemic, the level of difficulty the IRS faced when it came to telework and increasing the IRS budget. The second featured guest on today’s show was Good Jobs First Project Coordinator Christine Wen. She discussed how school districts pay for corporate tax breaks, tax exemption programs and tax abatements. 

We conclude our series, Federal Unions, For Better or Worse, exploring the role of unions in the federal workforce. This week we've heard from a highly pro-union academic, an anti-union right-to-work advocate, and a long-time federal executive who's of mixed views. The Federal Drive heard from the president of one of the major unions itself, the National Treasury Employees Union's Tony Reardon.

The labor moment in the U.S. has been in the news lately for entirely different reasons that it had been before the pandemic. In the private sector, technology and new media unions have held votes or become part of the landscape and in the public sector, the Trump administration’s policies are being thrown out by the Biden administration. President Biden himself has spoken in favor of labor rights and has celebrated the federal workforce as part of his campaign and early presidency.  As part of Government Executive Media Group’s Future of Work event recently, GovExec Senior correspondent and frequent GovExec daily guest Erich Wagner interviewed Tony Reardon, who is Associate Director for Employee Services at the Office of Personnel Management, about the priorities of the federal workforce in the post-pandemic world and the state of civil service labor unions in the Biden era.

On its first full day in office, the Biden administration has a plan IRS recently offered up to reorganize the agency around providing more modern services to taxpayers. The National Treasury Employees Union says it's relatively pleased with the Taxpayer First Act plan. The union represents at least 70,000 IRS employees. Tony Reardon is NTEU's national president. Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko, in part two of her interview, discusses why the plan could benefit IRS employees, and expectations for other agencies heading into the new administration, with NTEU national president Tony Reardon.

The National Treasury Employees Union isn't quite ready to turn the page on issues that kept it busy over the last few years. Leadership there thinks there's too much to do to recover from those 2018 workforce executive orders even once the Biden administration repeals them. Plus, the pandemic has created new priorities and refocused old ones for the union. For more on the big union's priorities, Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko spoke to the NTEU president, Tony Reardon. Hear more on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Ohio Federation of Teachers President Melissa Cropper joined the AWF Union Podcast today to discuss Ohio Governor Mike DeWine calling for schools to reopen March 1, teachers and other school personnel moving up on the priority list to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and Biden’s nominations for Secretary of Education and Secretary of Labor.Tony Reardon, National President of the National Treasury Employees Union also joined the podcast today.
