FPSE Member Locals
FPSE is a federation of eighteen member Locals, each with its own autonomous, democratic structure. Member Locals have elected executives. Many Locals also have elected officers with paid time release for union business and providing grievance handling, bargaining, and other member advocacy services. Presidents of each Local are members of FPSE’s Presidents’ Council.
Issues & Campaigns
FPSE members care deeply about equality, social justice, and the health and well-being of all. We work on both timely campaigns and long-standing issues to help support our members and the communities we serve to create a more fair and democratic world.
