I hope that your time spent at this website has perked your interest in NTEU Chapter 151 and its ongoing activities. For those visitors to the website who are eligible there are a lot of great reasons to join NTEU. In addition to what has been presented above I would like to bring the following comparisons to your mind. None of us would drive an automobile without insurance, just as none of us would consider home ownership without fire insurance. Your membership in NTEU can be viewed as "job insurance" that no bargaining unit federal employee in the Customs and Border Protection should be without. What does all this cost? NTEU is the best value in terms of getting what you pay for. Average dues run just around $10.00 per pay period which covers national and local dues. The dues are prorated according to GS-level with the lower-graded employees paying a little bit less. The current dues range for membership in NTEU Chapter 151 ranges around $7.00 a pay period for GS-7 employees to our GS-13's paying around $12.00 a pay period.
Hafa Adai… means hello!
