The New Milford BOE Paraeducators voted in a secret ballot election conducted by the Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations on Thursday, February 11, 2016 to join UPSEU.
The bargaining unit comprised of 95 members voted nearly unanimously to join UPSEU, with over 95% of those who casted a ballot voting for UPSEU.
Matt Geer, Regional Coordinator, stated “UPSEU is honored with the support that our organization received from the New Milford BOE Paraeducators. The unit went through great pains to find better representation, as their former union IFPTE, was simply non-existent in the workplace. UPSEU will finally provide this bargaining unit the type of representation that they deserved from day one and we can’t wait to hit the ground running on the unit's behalf.”
We welcome the New Milford BOE Paraeducators to the UPSEU family!
