PEF Does it now more than ever

PEF’s collective bargaining agreement with the State dictates the compensation and non-economic benefits members receive as part of a New York State bargaining unit. The 2026 PEF Contract Team has begun negotiations with the New York State Office of Employee Relations on a successor contract to the 2023-2026 agreement, which expired on April 2, 2026.

The Contract Team is traveling around the State meeting with members to answer questions about the process and update them on the progress of negotiations. The next meetings are scheduled the week of April 20-24 in Buffalo, and April 27 on Long Island. Click here to RSVP for any of those meetings.
