The National Treasury Employees Union has announced a yearlong PR campaign to drive home the connection between federal employees and quality of life in America in order to “change the conversation about the federal workers.”
The campaign will include radio and TV public service announcements, a web site, social media and a grassroots effort involving NTEU’s chapters around the nation, the union said.
“Because of federal employees, you do not have to put your money under your mattress, worry about getting your Social Security check on time or be afraid to eat your lunch,” said NTEU president Colleen Kelley, adding, “It may be politically expedient or considered humorous to verbally disrespect federal workers, but it is insidious and harmful to our national interests.”
