THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
Florida public employees have a lot to worry about: their paychecks never seem to keep up with the cost-of-living; no one appreciates the important contributions they make to community life; and employers are always talking about privatizing some new public service.
That's why public employees need someone in their corner who cares about their needs and concerns. And that is why public employees are joining the one organization that really cares about them - The Public Employees Association (PEA)
The Public Employees Association is an aggressive, politically active labor organization dedicated to the improvement of public employees' economic and working conditions through professional, qualified labor relations and legal representation.
The PEA is affiliated with the National Association of Government Employees (N.A.G.E./S.E.I.U. Local 5000), an international labor organization of more than 1,000,000 members, and is a member of the Change To Win Coalition which is a coalition of seven unions representing 8 million members.
The PEA is noted for its ability to achieve high quality collective bargaining agreements, its effective representation of members in grievances and disciplinary matters, and its open, democratic structure that allows for the concerns of members to really be heard.
