The NLC strives to advance the status, professionalism, benefits, and working conditions of all NATCA bargaining
unit employees through political and legislative activism. The NLC accomplishes these tasks through grassroots
activism, educating and training NATCA members on how to become effective legislative activists, as well as
providing political education. NATCA is proud to have one of the most effective grassroots networks in all of
organized labor. Working in conjunction with the National Office, the NLC helps craft grassroots messages to make
sure NATCA is represented on Capitol Hill. The NLC is responsible for ensuring our grassroots network of state
legislative coordinators, facility legislative representatives, and — most importantly — our member activists is
functioning at its best.
• LEGISLATIVE TRAINING The NLC is primarily responsible for the development of NATCA's Basic and Advanced
Legislative Activism classes. Committee members also serve as instructors for these classes, working to
develop NATCA's ever-growing army of legislative activists.
• POLITICAL EDUCATION AND ACTIVITY The NLC educates our members about all of NATCA's political tools and
the vital role each plays in the overall success of our organization. NLC members assist members engaging in
political activity to back candidates who support NATCA's agenda.
