Money Talks.
Cope Helps Them Listen.

Why COPE ?
COPE stands for Committee On Political Education. It is the only way federal election law allows PEF members and other labor-union members to work together in financially supporting political candidates in national elections who will support legislation, funding and policies that promote:

•Quality public services at the federal, state and local levels;
•Fair labor and wage laws, healthy and safe workplaces, pension protections.

One strong voice
When you pledge $2 or more per pay period to PEF COPE, you join thousands of other PEF members working to turn the tide of privatization, understaffing, deskilling and devalued public service that threaten you, your career and the quality services you deliver.

The union is prohibited by law from discriminatory treatment of members based on their participation in COPE or lack of it.
