HEALTH INSURANCE OPEN ENROLLMENT MAY 3 - MAY 28

Capital to Capitol March

April 30th  11am

The Connecticut Employees Union Independent began in 1967 when Salvatore Perrucio started an Independent Union with 350 members from the Connecticut Valley Hospital. From that small beginning, CEUI grew to over 8,000 employees in the 1980’s that covered all corners of the State with members in nearly every State agency. In 1977, the union was able to negotiate and win the “Master Contract”.....

Who We Are

Executive Board

While we appreciate that the Governor has accepted the demand presented by the Board of Education Union Coalition to develop a school-based vaccine rollout for our education community, we are deeply concerned that other essential workers who have continued to risk their health and the health of their family members remain left behind in the Administration’s age-based rollout.

How can the Governor forget about the DOT road maintainers, social workers, on-site higher education teachers, and nearly 12,000 other dedicated public service employees -- not to mention our private sector counterparts, like grocery store workers, manufacturing workers, and delivery drivers and many others -- who, for the past year, have selflessly endured health and safety risks to provide essential services to the people of Connecticut in our collective time of need?

We urge the Governor to continue to fight to put as many vaccines as possible  into the arms of Connecticut workers and residents, but we encourage prioritization of the dedicated essential workers who have worked throughout the pandemic to  include all of the dedicated essential workers who have worked through the pandemic to provide vital services to Connecticut’s residents.

Drew Phelan, February 22

Capital to Capitol! Join us in this march to demand an investment in higher education!
We encourage everyone to wear their union shirt/mask. Parking can be found in the Morgan Street Garage. Parking garage tickets can be validated. Please be there by 11am. The march will arrive at the State Capitol at 12:00 where there will be a speaker program with students, union members and legislative leaders. A boxed lunch will be provided. At the end of the rally there will be shuttle van transportation back to the garage
​

​CEUI will be pushing for work zone safety enforcement legislation in this

General Assembly session.

Insurance companies got a major tax cut even as they raked in record profits amid the pandemic. Now they’re spending millions to kill the public option that would expand coverage and lower costs.

Opponents of health care reform are using every play in the book to derail efforts to make health care in Connecticut more affordable, accessible and equitable.

Support SB842, a common-sense reform that ensures insurers do their part. Contact your legislators and tell them to support affordable health care access for all.
