\"RegionalMay 6, 2025 —<\/em> From Buffalo to Long Island, PEF Regional Coordinators are active members of the New York State labor movement. One of the primary ways they stay connected with their union siblings is via participation in Area Labor Federations (ALF) or Central Labor Councils (CLC). These umbrella organizations bring together workers from all sectors to benefit the communities they represent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For PEF\u2019s 12 Regional Coordinators, joining an ALF or CLC means they can continue to fight for PEF members while bringing the union\u2019s priorities to the wider community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Region
PEF Region 1 Coordinator Michele Iorfida<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Outgoing Region 1 Coordinator Michele Iorfida is a member of the Western New York ALF and Buffalo CLC. While she does not hold any extra roles with those bodies, other Region 1 members, like PEF Executive Board Member Vincent Cicatello and retiree David Chudy, hold seats on the ALF and CLC. Iorfida said that right now the local focus is not too different than the focus around the nation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re keeping an eye on the federal cuts coming down from the government and how it affects the state workforce,\u201d said Iorfida. \u201cEspecially in Chataqua County, where OPWDD has been closing many homes.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 2 Coordinator Shelby Wisneski<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shelby Wisneski is Region 2\u2019s Coordinator. She is one of two Vice Presidents of the Southern Tier Labor Council, a chapter of the Rochester ALF. The council covers Stueben, Schuyler and Livingston counties. Wisneski said that the council is rebuilding after other labor councils joined the organization and is focused on building a stronger coalition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we are trying to increase communication across the region and increase solidarity across unions,\u201d said Wisneski. \u201cPEF members have been great about getting involved in the labor council\u2019s events, so we\u2019re hoping other unions follow suit.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 3 Coordinator Leisa Abraham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Region 3 Coordinator Leisa Abraham holds seats on several councils. She is a delegate for the Rochester CLC, holds a seat on the Executive Board of the Rochester-Genesee Valley Labor Federation and is the President of the Finger Lakes CLC. In those capacities, she brings PEF\u2019s priorities. This month, Abraham is helping organize a Fix Tier 6 rally on May 6 in the Finger Lakes region. The councils are also focused on federal cuts as they continue to happen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur public sector unions rely heavily on federal, state and local government budgets,\u201d said Abraham. \u201cWith the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), we are gearing up for various public campaigns and actions to bring in the community to understand what losses they will have in the services they rely on, if these cuts go through.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 4 Coordinator Monica Moore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Monical Moore is the Region 4 Coordinator. She is an executive board member for the Central New York ALF and the Greater Syracuse Labor Council, where she also serves as the recording secretary. Moore works hard to engage the membership of both the ALF and the CLC.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur members are really concerned about the state\u2019s ability to recruit and retain at all of our agencies,\u201d said Moore. \u201cI know that there is also a lot of concern around pay disparities. Many of our members have families to support and it is sometimes hard to do on the amount of money they are paid to provide important services to their communities.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 5 Coordinator Scott Staub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Region 5, Scott Staub is the newest Regional Coordinator but has been working in the union movement for a long time. Currently, Staub is a part of the Binghamton Labor Council as a delegate representing PEF. The BLC is focused on increasing wages, job security and securing retirement benefits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have helped build collaborations on issues that are important to PEF members and the labor movement in general,\u201d said Staub. \u201cUniting diverse communities on common issues has helped us move the needle on several items.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 6 Coordinator Chris Dunham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chris Dunham is the Regional Coordinator for Region 6. He is excited by the work done across the large Region 6 area, which has several labor federations that overlap with Albany.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently seeking a seat on the Central New York Labor Council,\u201d said Dunham.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 7 Coordinator Barbara Stransky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Coordinator Barbara Stransky is well known for being heavily involved in PEF Region 7. As a union advocate, she is a part of the Northeast CLC as a delegate and the Jefferson Lewis and St. Lawrence Counties Central Trades Labor Council as delegate and executive board member. As part of the Northeast CLC, Stransky has organized the legislative breakfast and as part of the JLSL CLC she sits on the newly formed scholarship and engagement committees.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really important for us to focus on Tier 6 reform, and that is what we\u2019re doing at the councils I am a part of,\u201d said Stransky. \u201cWe\u2019re also concerned about the federal cuts. Our councils are doing what they can there as well.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 8 Coordinator Danielle Bridger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Danielle Bridger is the Region 8 Coordinator and a proud unionist of many years. She is a secretary with the Albany County Central Federation of Labor and a vice president with the Capital District ALF. In addition to working on special events like Albany\u2019s popular Tulip Festival, the Labor Parade and more, she said that much like her fellow Regional Coordinators, her organizations are working on the incoming federal cuts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really focused on engaging and educating members on the federal cuts,\u201d said Bridger. \u201cWe\u2019re also doing as much as we can to strengthen food bank distribution.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 9 Coordinator Gabriela Franklyn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gabriela Franklyn is the PEF Region 9 Coordinator. She is a delegate with the Hudson Valley ALF and was recently appointed to the Executive Council of the Westchester-Putnam CLC. She is also a member of the Dutchess, Catskill, Hudson-Catskill and Rockland counties CLC. She has been engaging members since the last presidential election and working hard on what she called Hudson Valley\u2019s common denominator issues.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working on a \u2018Know Your Rights\u2019 campaign and Tier 6 especially,\u201d said Franklyn. \u201cWe\u2019re also doing our best to rally and campaign around Social Security, as there have been many closures as of late.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 10 Coordinator Tamara Martin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tamara Martin and Bernadette O\u2019Connor work together closely as the coordinators for Regions 10 and 11, respectively. That partnership extends to their participation in the NYC CLC. They are both delegates with the council and meet monthly to communicate PEF\u2019s priorities and urge unions to join them in campaigns like the one to save SUNY Downstate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many issues matter to our members, we\u2019ve been focusing on workplace bullying, member safety across facilities, and increasing penalties for assaults on public employees,\u201d said Martin.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 11 Coordinator Bernadette O\u2019Connor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Region 12, Corrine Testa serves as the Regional Coordinator for PEF. She is a part of the Long Island Federation of Labor as a delegate for PEF. Testa said that the federation has been kept up to date on the DOCCS crisis that began in February and its aftermath. She has also rallied support for other PEF priorities. Like her fellow coordinators, Long Island is focused on Tier 6 reform, but most of all, she and other fellow unionists are focused on the lack of pay for workers on the island.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PEF
PEF Region 12 Coordinator Corinne Testa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cAs an individual who has lived on Long Island my entire life, I am well aware of the high-cost, too-low-pay dilemma that many Long Islanders face. The median home price in Nassau County alone, per the U.S. Census Bureau, was $658,700 from 2019-2023,\u201d said Testa. \u201cIn 2025, that number has grown to be more than $820,000! We cannot afford to live in the very communities we serve as public employees.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All this advocacy by PEF Regional Coordinators helps to strengthen the union movement and create better opportunities and working conditions for New York workers, but as with all things union, they can\u2019t do it alone. If you\u2019re interested in playing a greater role in your PEF region, <\/span>contact your regional office<\/span><\/a> and get to know your coordinator.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
