Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG) is a union representing engineers and related professionals employed by the state of California.[1]
In 1978, PECG fought for and won the exclusive right to represent engineers and related classes (architects, landscape architects, land surveyors, environmental specialists, engineering geologists, etc.)[2] in State Bargaining Unit 9.[3]
In 2003, PECG negotiated a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)[4] to achieve pay parity, a long sought goal. By 2008, PECG-represented employees received pay raises to bring their salaries in line with their counterparts in California's large local public agencies.
State budget deficits,[5][6] furloughs,[7][8] and wasteful outsourcing[9][10] are among the many challenges facing PECG and the members.
PECG represents members with grievances, arbitrations, and a variety of other claims and appeals. Leaders elected by PECG's 13,000 members establish PECG's policies. PECG is a volunteer organization assisted by professional negotiators, consultants, attorneys, and Sacramento lobbyists and is not affiliated with any organization or union.
PECG maintains offices in Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles (Glendale) to service members in 17 geographical Sections. PECG offers members life, disability, and other insurance benefits at group rates.
