The Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations held a secret ballot election on March 13, 2014 and as a result will now certify UPSEU as the exclusive bargaining representative for the 149 Wilton Board of Education Non-Certified Employees. "We would like to thank all of you who came out to the polls and showed your support, making it possible for UPSEU to have the opportunity to serve the Wilton BOE Non-Certified Employees," stated Ronald Suraci, Connecticut Regional Director.
This makes the eighth unit in 2014 to decertify from AFSCME in Connecticut and join UPSEU. "After speaking with the employees, it was clear that they were looking for a more professional union present in the workplace and UPSEU was the clear choice," stated Matt Geer, UPSEU's lead organizer.
The United Public Service Employees would like to welcome the Wilton BOE Non-Certified Employees as the newest members to the UPSEU family!
