Wrap and video from Tuesday's rally against bullying managers at the Department of Financial Services in NYC. PEF's inflatable bull, S.T.O.M.P. (Stop Treating Our Members Poorly), is out of his corral and ready to call out bullying managers across the State!

Matthew Brockbank from Region 8 says the contract is worth a "Yes" vote and reminds members that the fight isn't over when the contract is voted on. The compensation study results will help fuel the fight for higher pay across the state.

Have questions about the contract? We will be in Regions 1, 3, 4, and 7 this week. Check out the contract meeting schedule and stop by: https://t.co/O4bbaCrrDb

More than 500 PEF members showed up at the Capitol today with one message: it's time for a FAIR CONTRACT. Thank you to Assemblymember Dana Levenberg, Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon, and our allies @nysut for standing with us. Together, we'll keep fighting for the public employees who keep New York running. 💪

Rain and thunderstorms will affect most of the state Sunday into Monday. Western NY and portions of the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier will be impacted the most.

Strong, damaging winds are the primary threat. New Yorkers should continue to monitor their local forecast.

PEF Members! With just days left for the Governor to make her decision, we urge you to let her know important it is to sign legislation that would disclose and regulate the use of artificial intelligence by state agencies. It is vital that AI be paired with human oversight and that the public be aware of how the State is using the technology.

This year i tried Star Trek Fleet Command and found it enjoyable. I primarily enjoy role play game styles with the occasional battle. The game allows for both. Their #STFCLEGACY feature is interesting. Wish some other games allowed for this.
