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.

Any PEF member in the PS&T unit who is an eligible voter (paying dues as of June 17, 2026) and 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.
