One of his goals is for the 650 members he represents to be more politically savvy, aware of the issues streaming from the state Capitol, and to not only know their legislators, but to be comfortable contacting them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important for PEF Region 2 to have an astute Political Action Committee (PAC). I\u2019m looking for long-term commitment among members who realize the necessity to unite in order to secure our benefits,\u201d Puleo said. \u201cI want to coordinate a strong regional PAC, a team driven with purpose, and has their legislators on speed dial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To accomplish this, Puleo said he will meet with members, talk to them on a one-to-one basis, promoting PEF\u2019s state and federal agenda and listening to their issues.<\/p>\n<p>Puleo, a civil engineer 1 for 15 years with the state Department of Transportation, said another goal is to re-build the PEF divisions at the facilities where members work in Allegany, Steuben, Yates, Schuyler and Chemung counties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding coalitions is a natural process for me. It takes a lot of interpersonal communication skills in order to build confidence and respect between people. It is important to gain the trust and confidence of my members,\u201d Puleo said.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve fully-implemented divisions, Puleo recently sent regionwide emails to his stewards and council leaders to help launch a plan to ignite greater union participation. This plan includes fully funding all divisions, and ensuring each division has an empowered labor-management team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mission is PEF\u2019s mission. I have always been pro-labor and believe in organized labor\u2019s goals of securing and promoting economic, social and political equality for our members,\u201d Puleo said. \u201cMostly, with the support of Region 2 members and PEF staff, we can pave a new political path within the union that will benefit the national labor movement and all PEF members.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Region 2 &#8211; Hornell<\/h3>\n<p>Regional Coordinator<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:APuleo@pef.org\">Andrew Puleo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>40 Main St.<br \/>\nHornell, NY 14843-1538<br \/>\n(800) 724-5001, (607) 324-6060<br \/>\nFAX (607) 324-3611<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political activism is on the top of the list for PEF Region 2 Coordinator Andrew Puleo.
