SEIU
Withdrawal Not Affecting PEF Affiliation with AFL/CIO
Questions have been raised concerning
PEF's status with both the AFL-CIO and SEIU in light of SEIU's
withdrawal earlier this week from the AFL-CIO. As a result of PEF's
dual affiliation with both SEIU and AFT, the SEIU disaffiliation from
the national AFL-CIO will have no immediate impact on PEF's relationship
in the community of organized labor. We will maintain our relationship
with the State AFL-CIO, of which Roger Benson is a Vice President and
member of the Executive Board, and with the national AFL-CIO through our
other international
affiliate union, the American Federation of Teachers. The
disaffiliation from the national AFL-CIO by SEIU should result in no
changes in the terms and conditions of employment for PEF members or PEF
staff. Any further questions can be referred to the President's
office at ext. 211.
