Danbury BOE Secretaries and IT Employees overwhelmingly voted to leave CSEA/SEIU and join UPSEU. As a result of a secret ballot election conducted on Monday, March 30, 2015, 95% of those who cast a ballot, voted for UPSEU.
UPSEU Labor Relations Representative Matt Geer, who spearheaded the campaign stated, “It became clear after first meeting with the membership that the bargaining unit was long overdue for a better level of representation. The days of bringing issues forward, only to have them not be addressed by CSEA/SEIU will now be gone, due to the switch to UPSEU. During the campaign the members had an opportunity to speak with current UPSEU members who left CSEA/SEIU to join UPSEU in recent years, and the positive experience they have had. The Danbury BOE Secretaries and IT Employees will finally have the expertise to represent them in their day to day issues and as well, at the bargaining table.”
We welcome the Danbury BOE Secretaries and IT Employees to the UPSEU family!
