Anthony M. Reardon (Tony) was elected national president in August 2015 at the National Treasury Employees Union’s (NTEU) 55th convention. As the union’s top elected official, he serves as the spokesperson for the union representing NTEU with the media, Congress and agency leadership on issues of importance to union members and federal employees. He leads NTEU’s efforts to achieve dignity and respect for all federal workers.
Reardon is a 25-year veteran of NTEU. He joined NTEU in 1990 as the union’s operations manager and rose to become chief operating executive, a position he held for 11 years. In that role, he oversaw budgeting and other financial matters and managed NTEU’s day-to-day operations, ranging from personnel to information technology. Throughout his career, Reardon has recognized that a union’s strength lies in its membership. That is why he places a premium on building NTEU’s membership and providing exemplary service to its members.
As a member of the NTEU Executive Committee since 1997, Reardon played an integral role in strategic planning and key decision making that affected the union’s entire body of work and success. He worked closely with NTEU chapter leaders throughout the country and organized national conventions and the highly-regarded training programs for members.
In December 2013, Reardon was elected to serve as national executive vice president—NTEU’s second-highest position. In that capacity, Reardon chaired the NTEU team that negotiated a new, six-year contract with the Internal Revenue Service and led the union’s Custom and Border Protection bargaining team. He represented NTEU on various union-agency management forums and worked with agency leaders. In 2015, President Obama appointed Reardon to the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations and the Federal Salary Council
