Marlboro School District Members Overwhelmingly Vote to Leave CSEA/AFSCME

In a PERB election held on March 20, 2007, the fifty member unit of Marlboro School District voted to join their co-workers in the Marlboro District and Marlboro Paraprofessional Unit in becoming part of UPSEU.

After seeing UPSEU’s work on behalf of the Secretarial and Paraprofessional Units, the Custodial/Maintenance and Food Service unit decided they too needed better representation.

UPSEU Executive Vice President Gary Hickey, commenting on the election results stated, “This is a growing group of workers that want what every other unit wants, good representation and a union that will work for them at the bargaining table.  CSEA/AFSCME never came around and did little for the unit at the bargaining table.”

The vote was 35 to 9 in favor of UPSEU.
