Under the direction of Shawn Moran, the Office of Member Services will be devoted to improving the communications between the volunteers (Officers, Directors, Union Representatives) of NBPC Local 1613 and the membership.  Shawn will be identifying technology and improving on past methods for improving communications and increasing membership participation with the local.  Sections of the website that will fall under the direction of the Office of Member Services are: Bargaining Agreement, Discipline Index, Discussions Index, Filing a Grievance, Member Benefits, Member Dispatch, Member Meetings, Message Board, Rumor Control, Union Forms, and Union Member Rights.

MEMBER ADDRESS UPDATES

In order for you to receive current information from AFGE and Local 1613, like the AFGE Newsletter "The Government Standard" and information about union elections and surveys, it is imperative for you to keep your address up-to-date.  Currently, 60% of the Local 1613 membership does not have an updated mailing address on file with AFGE and will not receive official communications from AFGE, NBPC, and Local 1613.

The quickest and easiest way to update your address is:

1. Login to the Members Section of the AFGE website.

2. After you are logged in, click on "My Profile" and edit your home mailing address.

Lead Union Reps, Station Union Reps, and Union members should pass this info along to their fellow members.

MEMBER BENEFITS

You may obtain access to a significant level of union benefits through Local 1613.  Currently, Jim Ashley is the only person authorized by Local 1613 to visit Border Patrol installations throughout the San Diego Sector.  Jim Ashley works for Benefit Architects, which is one of many providers authorized to offer insurance programs in District 12.

There are independents who may claim to be an authorized Union benefit provider and do not have the full faith and backing of the union.  These independents are conducting unauthorized business on government property and should be escorted out.  In some cases, it may be a fellow agent conducting the business and you may alternatively report the situation to management.   To verify those programs specifically authorized to offer Union benefits, please visit the following pages:
