Need help navigating a work issue? This page connects you with the supervisors who volunteer their time to support fellow Local 4900 members. These representatives balance their state jobs with unpaid advocacy work (protected by negotiated provisions ensuring no loss of personal leave). For the fastest response, the Alaska Public Employees Association (APEA) employs full-time staff.
Start by contacting an employee representative in your region or department. For time-sensitive issues, reach out to the APEA staff: https://www.apea-aft.org/apea-staff. If your question is specific to a Board, Team or Committee’s area of expertise, feel free to contact the relevant regional representative directly.
