If you’re new to PEF and wondering what Convention is all about, here’s a flyer that provides some details. In short – it is the highest decision-making body of PEF. Delegates hear from leaders in the labor movement, receive updates from elected officers, and set the union’s agenda for the year ahead. Last year, in Lake Placid, more than 700 delegates participated, and we’d love to grow that number even more this October in Niagara Falls!
