 | | PEF founders believed that the concerns of the PSandT unit were not adequately represented by CSEA, the majority of whose members were non-professional state employees. |
 | | Other issues of long-term concern for PEF include maintaining a high level of health care coverage for its members, preventing the outsourcing of state jobs to private contractors, preventing layoffs in the face of state budget cuts, insuring timely and fair performance evaluations, and guaranteeing parking privileges for members working in downtown Albany. |
 | | PEF's stated mission is to "provide the leadership necessary for PEF members to achieve employment security, higher wages, better working conditions, and improved retirement benefits."[11] PEF is affiliated with New York State United Teachers, the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union.[12] |
