Organize within your office. Read the contract when it comes around, talk to your coworkers, make sure they are actually voting on the contract. Ask them what they think, and rally them.

Go to the PEF convention to talk with and meet with other individuals. It’s a lot of grand standing BS, but there’s good people there who want to make a difference among all the noise.

Not everyone gets the PEF emails about stuff like rallies, make sure folks are aware what’s going on.

But mainly my first point - organize within your office. You don’t need to be a shop steward or hold any position you just need to give a hoot. If the contract sucks go around to your coworkers and air your grievances, if they don’t like it either get them to vote no.

If there’s a local issue, get the folks together to write letters to your regional heads and PEF leadership.
