In a Connecticut State Labor Relations Board election held on February 11, 2010, the 72 member Southington Municipal unit, voting in a secret ballot election, chose UPSEU over their existing union, AFSCME.
UPSEU won the election with an overwhelming 95% of the total votes.
While the unit is different, the story with AFSCME never changes. Poor representation, lack of communication, never ending dues increases without a vote, and lackluster negotiations, were just some of the issues that led Southington employees to vote to join UPSEU.
This Southington unit joins another 137 member group who voted to leave AFSCME for UPSEU only 30 days ago.
UPSEU welcomes the Southington Municipal Employees to the UPSEU family and looks forward to serving them!
