DMs are open to MSFC and MAF employees needing assistance during the furlough. We are compiling resources and will distribute to those on our mailing list this weekend.

The union representing the largest number of NASA employees, IFPTE, has filed suit against Executive Order 14343, which denied NASA employees their collective bargaining rights, resulting in contracts negotiated in good faith being repudiated and employees being denied their Weingarten Rights

MESA, IFPTE Local 27, represents engineers and scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL, and Michoud Assembly Facility in Slidell, LA. Members and supporters, there is a Labor Day learning and organizing event today 3-7pm at the Green at Campus 805. See you there.

At 1,000+ events across the country during Workers’ Labor Day weekend, America’s unions and working people are standing up and fighting for an economy that works for us, not billionaires and CEOs. Workers built this country, and now, we’re taking it back.

This Executive Order denies NASA employees, among many others, the right to collectively bargain. This includes the roughly 1,200 engineers and scientists we represent at MSFC and MAF. For reference, most NASA unions formed in response to the post-Apollo Reductions In Force of the early 1970s.
