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.
