PEF Deserves a Fair ContractThe PEF Executive Board voted overwhelmingly on June 11, 2026, to approve the text of a 2026-2031 Tentative Agreement for PEF-represented members of the PS&T unit and send it to the membership for a ratification vote. Members will now have the final say. A physical copy of the full agreement, along with highlights, gains and tradeoffs, and a timeline for the vote has been mailed to all members. In the meantime, digital versions of those documents are below.

The tentative agreement provides for raises of 4.5%, 4%, 3.5%, 3% and 3% each year of the agreement. It also establishes a new PEF Employee Benefit Fund to administer a new dental plan, something PEF has fought for since 2015 and that brings us in line with CSEA and UUP.

As of July 15, 2026, any PEF member in the PS&T unit who has not received a ballot should call the AAA hotline at (800) 529-5218 or email Sacha Ulerio (AAA) at ulerios@adr.org to request a replacement ballot.
**NOTE: If you know you will not be at your home address to receive a ballot in the mail during the voting period, please contact PEF Director of Divisions Kristie Furman at (518) 785-1900, ext. 231, or Kristie.Furman@pef.org and accommodations will be made.
