You can find out whether you are in the NTEU Chapter 280 bargaining unit by looking at your recent SF-50 (available in your e-OPF) and finding Box 37 “Bargaining Unit Status.” The code for NTEU Chapter 280 is 1053. Refer to the Dues Chart to find the amount for your grade and step and write it in the blank next to “per biweekly pay period.”

Membership costs about $1.75 per day, less than a cup of coffee or tea. It’s the cheapest job insurance you can buy and well worth this nominal amount.
Chapter 280 members have certain rights under federal law as detailed in 29 C.F.R. § 458.4. You can find out more in this Department of Labor Publication.
