NTEU has sued the IRS because it is systematically removing NTEU materials—and NTEU materials only—from workplace common spaces and employees’ personal workstations.

This is a textbook illegal viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment. It also interferes with our members’ constitutional right to associate with other union members. The Administration is clearly trying to discourage our members and retaliate against NTEU for its aggressive advocacy.

NTEU President Doreen Greenwald said: “NTEU will not stand for the Administration’s effort to retaliate against us for our advocacy and to try to erase NTEU from the workplace. NTEU has represented IRS employees for nearly a century. It will continue to fight for their right to speak up and support the union.” 

NTEU's suit is in federal district court in Washington, D.C. The union will ask the Court for swift relief to stop the Administration’s unconstitutional efforts.
