See this important update from SEBAC (State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition) about pandemic pay for state employees.

For the first time since 2018, delegates from among the 1.7 members of American Federation of Teachers locals throughout the country assembled in person, including delegates from UHP, July 14-17 in Boston.

We sent 16 delegates to the CT AFL-CIO convention, June 23-24 at Foxwoods, a fitting location, where 2,000 employees are represented by five bargaining units! See this year's endorsed candidates, plus photos and video highlights.

We have a deal with UConn Health to implement long-overdue market adjustments for our nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in the most critically understaffed areas!

All six of this year's winners of the Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing are our members! Meet the 2022 honorees, with video profiles created by UHP members Ethan Giorgetti, Frank Barton, and Carolyn Pennington.

It didn't take quite as long as our contract, but we have a settlement for our grievance over how some of our members were (not) compensated for working during the snowstorm of Feb. 1, 2021.

We have a deal! Here are some frequently asked questions about our next contract.

Our elected officials have spoken, and our contract is approved! Please see this important message from our Negotiations Team for more details.

First Vice President for Collective Bargaining Shawn Brown: 600 votes Gloria Valentino: 456 votes Recording Secretary Summer Lambert: 604 votes Kimberly Ericson: 428 votes Vice President for Tier I (salaried) Employees Ray Bennettson: 607 votes Quamanic St. Pierre: 420 votes

Our membership overwhelmingly ratified our proposed contract. The margin was 1,377 in favor, 20 against, a nearly 99% acceptance. Voter turnout was nearly 55%. The contract still needs approval at the state legislature before its May adjournment before it becomes official.
