History

The National Association of Government Employees was created July 16, 1961 at a convention of the Federal Employees Veterans Association (FEVA) in Dedham, Massachusetts by Kenneth T. Lyons. FEVA had been formed by World War II veterans working for the federal government to secure higher wages, better benefits and improved work rules. FEVA's primary base of support were workers at the Charlestown Naval Shipyard.

President John F. Kennedy had made it known to Mr. Lyons that he would sign an executive order which would establish collective bargaining rights for federal employees. But veterans' organizations were excluded from collective bargaining.

At the 1961 convention, FEVA delegates voted to change the name of the organization to NAGE and change the purpose of the association.

President Kennedy signed Executive Order 10988 on January 12, 1962, granting collective bargaining rights to federal workers.

In 1970, the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO) affiliated with NAGE. The IBPO affiliation significantly altered the goals of NAGE, broadening and diversifying the membership base significantly.

In 1977, Unit 6, a Massachusetts professional employee bargaining unit, affiliated with NAGE. Unit 6 became the first state bargaining unit to affiliate with the union. Massachusetts state bargaining Unit 1 and Unit 3 joined NAGE shortly thereafter.

In 1982, NAGE affiliated with SEIU.

NAGE today

Today, NAGE's divisions include:

  • Army-Air Technicians Union (AATU)
  • International Association of EMTs and Paramedics (IAEP)
  • International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO)
  • International Brotherhood of Correctional Officers (IBCO)
  • National Association of Government Employees Locals (NAGE)
  • National Association of Nurses (NAON)
  • National Health Care Union (NHCU)

In 2005, NAGE's president was David J. Holway. The division reported more than 45,000 members on its federal filings.
