UPSEU is proud to announce that on January 26th, 2012 in a Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations secret ballot election, the unorganized, New Canaan BOE Teacher Assistants, comprised of 109 employees voted for UPSEU. Over 70% of those who voted cast their ballot for UPSEU!!

UPSEU Labor Relations Representative Matt Geer, stated, "The New Canaan BOE Teacher Assistants decided that after many years of not having a union, they needed a strong union presence to help protect their rights.  They witnessed firsthand the highest level of representation that UPSEU has been providing the New Canaan BOE Food Service Employees and the New Canaan BOE Secretaries." 

UPSEU Labor Relations Representative Roger Stolen, added, "The large group of employees who started the attempt to unionize should be commended for their efforts.  The entire group will now have the protection and representation from UPSEU that they have so rightfully deserved for many years."

UPSEU welcomes the New Canaan BOE Teacher Assistants to the UPSEU family and we look forward to working for them!
