It was one victory among many Tuesday night that even Mills, political field director in Connecticut for the North American union UNITE HERE, described as “astonishing.” Her team took on entrenched power—and walked away winning a stunning 14 of 15 races, unseating incumbents in the process. Some races weren’t even close. With other pro-union candidates unopposed in the primaries, organized labor suddenly found itself poised to take over majority control of New Haven’s legislative body.

 Gov. Dannel P. Malloy acknowledged there were “sharp elbows” thrown over the past eight months between state employee unions and his administration, but said Thursday morning “please don’t question my commitment to labor.“

Just a reminder to come out to the membership meeting in December 2011.

Each year, many of our members transfer from one worksite to another. Some years it has taken us months to learn where you have been assigned to work. There is a great deal of important and beneficial information that comes from both the local and national AFT that you should not miss.

Will you please complete the attached Membership Update form and send it to our office via pony as soon as possible. You should see what you’re missing.
 

The second General Meeting of the LUEA calendar year will be held on Wednesday, December 14th, 2011. A mix of business items and socializing. Location TBA.

Are you interested in helping out your local chapter?  We need help in many ways.  One way you can help is to join or chair a committee.

gathered to celebrate and inspire support for the builder of the middle class: our Unions.

City, county and state candidates for office circulated among attendees and participants enjoying the gentle summer day.
