A union gives the people who actually do the work a say in how their facility operates. Instead of simply reacting to arbitrary decisions coming down from management, employees can sit down with administrators and supervisors to jointly solve problems that affect our jobs and our clients.

Convenient and Free, get reminders, news and actions you can take to be heard!

Plus, Good News from members! Do you have news to share? Marriage, Birth, Birthdays and more to share with your union! Let us know and we’ll include it in the next newsletter!

All are welcome at the monthly membership meetings which are generally held the 4th wednesday of the month at alternating locations. We are alternating the sites of the meetings to accommodate members in the five county region we serve. Look for the postcard sent each month for the meeting date and location.
