About Us
"UPSEU" is the acronym for United Public Service Employees Union representing over 28,000 public sector workers. UPSEU is the fastest growing union in the Northeast. UPSEU is comprised of workers employed as registered nurses, social workers, clerical employees, operations and maintenance employees, food service workers, librarians and library support personnel, educational classroom aides/monitors/assistants, transportation employees, probation officers, police officers, dispatchers, crossing guards, social welfare examiners, laborers and motor equipment operators, to name a few. UPSEU has roots dating back 35 years and began representing public employees in 1986. Starting from our first bargaining unit to the most recent unit that has joined us, we have consistently maintained our commitment to providing the best level of representation available to public employees in the country. UPSEU prides itself in augmenting our Unit Officer and Steward network with officers who have an average of 25 years experience and with highly trained, professional representatives who have, on average, over 15 years of experience in labor advocacy and contract negotiations.

Changing unions to UPSEU was the best decision our unit could have made. We now have immediate access to UPSEU representatives who handle all of our work-related problems. They are always there for us. I call them all hours of the day and night and weekends and they are always available and promptly return our calls. - Sal Tumminello, Town of Teaneck

I have been President of the Roosevelt School District Clerical Association since May 2002. Our unit unanimously voted to leave our prior union and join UPSEU on April 1, 2007 due to our prior union's lack of representation and failure to handle our workplace grievances. It was the best decision we ever made. With our prior unions we were just throwing our dues down the drain. Doris Squires, Roosevelt School District
