On June 11, 2026, the PEF Executive Board convened a Special Session to consider the negotiated 2026-2031 tentative agreement for all PEF-represented members of the Professional, Scientific and Technical Services (PS&T) unit. Board members were presented with the tentative contract and asked questions about various aspects of it during a vigorous debate. A roll call vote to approve the full text and send it the membership for ratification was then held, and the final tally was 91 yes, 1 no, and 1 abstain. Per PEF policy, when a roll call is conducted by the Executive Board, the results are published for members to review. Here is how each Executive Board member voted.
Dues-paying members of the PS&T unit will now have the final say during a ratification vote. The timeline for the vote is still being finalized, and will be shared with members via email, social media, and the PEF website and app. A Special Communicator Edition will be printed later this month and mailed to dues-paying members who are eligible to vote on the contract. It will contain the full agreement, plus a look at the highlights and the gains and tradeoffs. In the meantime, the documents will be made available for member review on the PEF website as they are finalized.
