ALBANY, NY (06/22/2011)(readMedia)-- The New York State Public Employees Federation (PEF) continues to wait to hear back from the state's negotiating team on the status of the union's contract offer.

PEF stands ready to meet with the state's negotiators to reach an agreement that balances the needs of our members as well as the needs of the state.

PEF is the state's second-largest, state-employee union, representing 56,000 professional, scientific and technical employees.
