INDEPENDENCE
In UE Local 222-CILU/CIPU, we believe Members
have the right to make free and informed decisions
on any and all matters concerning their Union.

As an Independent Union, we are NOT beholden to any corporate
interests, political parties, individual politicians or any "Union Boss".

We are the
ONLY Independent Union representing Municipal
Employees in Connecticut, and we will always fight to remain free.

As a Member of UE 222-CILU/CIPU, you will also be a member of
UE - The National Home for Independent Unions !
UE brings the solidarity, strength and resources of a
National Union to all UE 222-CILU/CIPU Members.
NEGOTIATIONS
We believe that militant and aggressive creative
collective action is the best strategy to achieve
meaningful long-term gains for our Members.

UE 222-CILU/CIPU will provide you with a highly
competent and experienced chief negotiator to work with your
Local Negotiating Team and Membership.

The final product will be a collective bargaining agreement that
protects your rights, wages, hours, benefits, and working
conditions - and also provides you with the tools to get
respect and power on the job for your Members.
