Stories of hostility, fear, intimidation, and toxicity from management at the Department of Financial Services are appalling and frequent.

PEF members should never feel afraid to speak up, stand together, or exercise their union rights.

Members of the PEF Executive Board pose with the union’s giant 20′ inflatable bull at a March 2025 meeting in Albany.

Management’s actions have sent a clear message:

They want workers silent, isolated, and scared into submission.

We have a message of our own: You can’t scare our rights away.

It is time to step up and stand together with your union as we STOMP out intimidation, bullying, and disrespect. Bullying is not leadership. Workers deserve respect, not fear. Respect is a right, not a favor.

Join us at a rally on Tuesday, September 8th outside at 1 State Street in New York City at 11:30 a.m. and help us send management a message they cannot ignore: Manage with respect — or step aside.

Click here to register for the rally on Sept. 8 at 11:30 a.m. There will be a reception following at the PEF NYC office located at 100 William St., 17th floor. PEF members should use your leave accruals for anything beyond your lunch break.
