MFPE is a public employee union with a diverse membership embracing public school teachers and classified personnel, higher education faculty and support personnel, law enforcement, and health care workers. MFPE is NOT a teacher union. Half of MFPE's members serve public education, the rest work across state, county, and city governments. MFPE is, for example, the largest law enforcement union in the state representing correctional officers, highway patrol, probation and parole officers, deputy county attorneys, deputy county sheriffs, and city police.
