New NFFE 1450 Executive Board Installed!11/20/2008
The New NFFE 1450 Executive Board was installed on November 20th, 2008, at the General Membership Meeting.
The new NFFE 1450 Executive Board now includes:
President: Ricardo Miranda
Vice President: Elizabeth McDargh
Recording Secretary: Robin Thompson
Secretary/Treasurer: Rick Lombardi
Conductor Sentinel: Harvey Friedberg
Trustee #1: Ron Smith
Trustee #2: Sharon Moeller
Trustee #3: Kenneth Einbinder
The course for the next 3 years is set with the following Strategic Vision:
I. Block the Replication of the National Security Personnel System(NSPS) of the Department of Defense. It is critical that we stop NSPS, because this system eliminates most of the statutory protections for federal workers. NSPS will bring private-sector at-
will employment tenure and eliminate civil-service protections, for HUD employees. This will be accomplished through NFFE National
legislative efforts and filing lawsuits. The Local will establish a committee to communicate with NFFE National to take pro-active
measures to block any legislation attempting to implement at HUD.
II. Prevent the Outsourcing of HUD jobs in A-76 Outsourcing Competitions. The Local has a committee of Union members to study and learn in depth U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Circular A-76 to become experts to participate in the bidding process and represent the interests of the in-house proposal and team. NFFE National will assist with legislative efforts to block HUD appropriations for outsourcing initiatives and contracts.
III. Assist employees with OPM grade classification appeals to get higher General Schedule (GS) grade levels. The Local wants to
establish a committee of Union members to study and learn the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) grade classification standards
in depth to become experts to assist employees with classification appeals directly to OPM.
IV. Pursue Legislative efforts to reduce employees share and premiums for health insurance. The Local will seek assistance from
NFFE Nationals legislative staff to sponsor legislation and get Congressional support to increase the governments share of the health-
insurance premium costs. The Local will establish a committee to communicate with NFFE National to take pro-active measures to pass
new legislation.
V. Represent Union members in non-selection for promotion in U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) cases to ensure that
hiring and promotion in HUD are based on merit and free of discrimination and cronyism. The Union leadership and Stewards have studied and become experts in EEOC regulations at Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1614 and case law to professionally represent Union members in Alternative Dispute Resolution Mediation and EEOC administrative hearings.
Union members interested in joining any of these committees, please
contact NFFE Local 1450 President, Ricardo Miranda, at (213) 534-2705 during non-duty time or via his personal email address at: rmrad1@yahoo.com.
Non-union members wishing to join are encouraged to call Elizabeth McDargh, VP NFFE 1450, at 213-534-2705 or 2578 or via email at elizabeth.mcdargh@hud.gov.
We congratulate the new eBoard and thank them for their service to NFFE 1450!
