There were no negotiations this week. Negotiators will meet on Wednesday, May 28. Subjects on tap include Worker Compensation Benefits as well as Articles 14, 18, 20, 30, 36 and 41.

BE INFORMED!
"We commit to keep our members and activists informed so that we all convey a unified message for a just and fair contract to the state negotiators, the legislators and the public." Roger E. Benson, President and Ken Brynien, Vice President and Contract Chairperson.

The strength of any union is the active participation of an informed membership.

Action without information is misguided.

Information without a network of connected members is incomplete.

PEF's AIM is Active Informed Members

The two best, quick, and economical sources of information are:

• The PEF E-mail Network
• Member Mobilizers

The two easiest and most productive member actions are:

Registering your home e-mail address with PEFonline@pef.org
Volunteering to be a Member Mobilizer with PEFonline@pef.org

Member Mobilizers are Active Informed Members

Member Mobilizers keep other members active and informed

One Member Mobilizer serves as the liaison to ten other members, distributing and collecting information

Member Mobilizers help PEF reach its AIM

For PEF to deliver what members want and deserve, PEF needs power

Information motivates participation

Participation is action

Informed action generates power

Power commands respect

Respect delivers results

Help us take AIM at expanding our network of Active Informed Members, so that PEF can have more power to succeed at achieving member aims.
