About Me:
Greetings Sisters and Brothers, My name is John Schuettinger I current serve as the Agency Vice President for the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) . I’ve been an active dues paying member of Local 12 for years. I joined the civil service back in 2007 after spending a few years as a federal contractor, all here at the US DOL. I love the work I do helping the American worker and that extends to my work with Local 12 on behalf of you all. I’ve helped defend people against management over reach, proposed suspensions, and attempted reprimands, aided in the equitable distribution of work spaces, negotiated moves, and held management accountable for other transgressions. Additionally I’ve served on various church boards, and aided my Ward 5 community with clean ups, musical events, protests, holiday celebrations, and other civic engagements. I look forward to representing you and Local 12, if you’ll allow me with your vote.
