NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE (NLC)
NATCA LEGISLATIVE TEAM
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 ACTIVIT Y 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.

Congress remains one of the few national assemblies that research and draft their own
legislation rather than simply voting on bills created by the government in power.
