What is PERC, and why does it matter?

PERC ballots began arriving in mailboxes on May 27 and may look like junk mail, so be sure to keep an eye out. This election helps determine who represents and defends the contract, workplace rights, and protections that education professionals rely on every day.

Watch the video to learn more about PERC, what's at stake, and be sure to complete and return your ballot once it arrives.

Have you checked your mailbox yet? 📬

PERC ballots have been mailed and may look like junk mail, so be sure to keep an eye out. Once your ballot arrives, don't wait—complete it, sign the outer envelope, add a Forever Stamp, and mail it back promptly.

Every returned ballot matters. Take a few minutes to protect the rights, protections, and voice that education professionals rely on every day.

If you've already mailed yours back, thank you. If not, now is the time.
