Madison Police Vote UPSEU
Police Officers in the Town of Madison, Connecticut, voted to join UPSEU in a state election that was held on February 1, 2008.
After thirty five years of representation by IBPO-SEIU, the officers have decided to join a union that can provide the kind of representation needed to protect the rights of a police officer.
“In speaking with the officers of the department, they expressed concerns about the lack of IBPO personnel in Connecticut,” stated UPSEU’s Ron Suraci.
Officers were concerned with the level of representation they were getting from IBPO and knew it was time for a change. In recent years the IBPO-SEIU Massachusetts-based union lost several police and town units throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts that have resulted in a steady decline in their members. UPSEU’s reputation of top notch representation played heavy on the decision to make the change to UPSEU/COPS.
“This year we have filed 23 petitions on behalf of hundreds of dissatisfied union members in Connecticut, and soon they too will become part of the UPSEU family,” continued UPSEU’s Director Ronald Suraci.
