Voting nearly unanimously for UPSEU, the Norwalk BOE Custodial, Security, and Maintenance Unit is yet another AFSCME unit to join the UPSEU ranks.
The unit of 112 did extensive research to determine their options, due to their constant frustration with the lack of AFSCME representation. After learning of UPSEU through units we represent, the group reached out to them to learn more about what happened when they changed unions and what their experience had been with UPSEU as their representative.
The Norwalk unit contacted UPSEU and as illustrated by the nearly unanimous vote, decided a change was necessary.
“The fact that so many employees made it a point to vote and have their voices heard is a huge step in the right direction in achieving the common goal of a stronger, more professional level of representation in the workplace,” stated UPSEU Regional Director Ronald Suraci.
UPSEU welcomes the Norwalk BOE to the UPSEU family and we eagerly await formal certification and going to work for the group.
