In a Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations election conducted on Tuesday, December 22, 2015, the West Haven BOE Food Service Employees, comprised of 29 members, voted near unanimously to leave AFSCME and join UPSEU. 95% of those voting cast a ballot for UPSEU.
Matt Geer, Regional Coordinator for UPSEU stated, “The unit’s frustration with AFSCME’s lack of preparation and unprofessionalism during negotiations became the last straw for the membership. During recent years, members of the unit began feeling as though AFSCME was constantly siding with the employer and not taking their issues seriously. Thankfully, that will immediately change with UPSEU now representing the membership.”
