When North Haven DPW Employees made the decision to seek out a change in union representation, they reached out to neighboring towns to determine which union option would be best. Over and over, UPSEU came back as the union that those units felt was the best union for them. As a result, several members contacted UPSEU in an effort to have that desire become a reality.
The unit comprised of 33 employees was previously represented by CILU (UE) and became tired of the same song and dance approach from them. The members reached out to current UPSEU members in the Town of North Haven for the final stamp of approval. In speaking with the North Haven BOE Employees and the North Haven Police Officers, they heard nothing but the highest praise for UPSEU, which helped reconfirm the member’s initial belief that they needed to join UPSEU.
On August 26, 2015, the North Haven DPW Employees cast their official secret ballots in favor of UPSEU during an election conducted by the Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations.
We welcome the North Haven DPW Employees to the growing UPSEU family!
