“Protecting American Agriculture Employees for Over 50 Years”

NAAE represents both professional and nonprofessional (non-clerical and non-managerial) employees in Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), a unit in the US Department of Agriculture, Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service. PPQ’s activities include: certifying agriculture commodities for export, inspecting plant shipments entering the United States for agriculture pests, and managing control programs for exotic pests that have entered the United States.

As a small rank-and-file union with a much dispersed bargaining unit, we use our limited resources in obtaining our basic rights as federal employees.

Update from the National President
10.03.2013 Government Shutdown

During the shutdown remember that NAAE is still available and accessible to our members.  We know what a cluster this has been and are very frustrated with the lack of information and consistency out there.  We will do our best to provide answers or get answers to your questions.  Here are the Q&As that were distributed last week.  Within is some general guidance regarding furloughed employees right to unemployment.  This varies state by state but all employees sent home should have received an SF-8 which is needed to apply for unemployment.  Contact any of us if you need more information on this or have other questions, whether you are working or furloughed.
