Welcome to Local 3307.
Our Union, known officially as NBPC Local 3307,
represents non-supervisory Border Patrol employees who
work in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector. Our
members are located in every Border Patrol Station
operated in the RGV Sector, as well as at the Sector's
Headquarters in Edinburg, Texas. Local 3307 is under the
direction of seven Officers elected to serve as members
of the Local 3307 Executive Board (E-Board). The E-Board
consists of the President (Paul A. Perez), Executive Vice-President
(Albert Trevino),
three Vice-Presidents (Chris Cabrera / John Fuller /
Manuel Rocha), a Secretary/Treasurer (Ram
Gonzalez), and a
Sergeant At Arms (Albert Spratte). There is also an appointed position,
the Local 3307 Health & Safety Officer. Each E-Board
Officer is elected to serve on the E-Board by the
membership of Local 3307. All E-Board Officers are Border Patrol Agents
with many years of experience, both in the field, and in
dealing with administrative matters that affect our
members. The E-Board is supported by approximately 64
Union Representatives located at stations within the RGV
Sector. Each Union Representative is trained to assist
members of our Union in all facets of their employment.
Local 3307 Union Representatives are volunteers who are
dedicated to ensuring that our Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA), as well as laws, regulations and
policies are adhered to and applied consistently and
fairly throughout their respective areas of
responsibility. We represent non-supervisory Border
Patrol Agents, as well as many support personnel,
assigned to all nine Border Patrol Stations and the
Headquarters of the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol
Sector. Our Representatives assist members with issues
such as grievances, responses to proposals for discipline, representation before
investigative bodies (OIG / OPR / OIA / CIRT & MIT), and access to the PORAC Legal
Defense Fund. Local 3307 also has access to the
Edinburg, Texas Law Firm of Roberto M. Garcia. Mr.
Garcia
serves as the Union's General Counsel. As a Union
Member, you join an organization which exists solely for
the protection of our members. As Federal Law
Enforcement Officers and employees, our members require
the best protection available to ensure that they are
not subjected to unfair or unjust discipline.
Furthermore, we protect our members against needless
harassment and unwarranted investigations. We ensure
that our member's workplace rights are respected and we
vigorously pursue those who choose to violate them. We
do not tolerate bad management and we strive to ensure
fairness and equality in our workplace.
There are many outstanding leaders in management
positions throughout the Rio Grande Valley Sector and Local 3307 enjoys a
great working relationship with them; however,
we remain vigilant because of those few managers who feel that they
do not have to respect our member's rights. Our union
has represented hundreds of members in our sector, in
all areas of their employment. We enjoy a very high rate
of membership amongst eligible employees, with some
stations having a membership rate close to 100%. There
are many benefits to being a member of Local 3307 of the
National Border Patrol Council, yet the single most
important reason to be a member is to provide assurance
to yourself that in your specific time of need, you will
have the collective voice of a Strong Union and you
will NEVER stand alone! |
