We are Stronger Together

CEUI is on the Frontlines for Working Families

NEWS and UPDATES

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”.....

Founded in 1967, Connecticut Employees Union Independent is a member-run organization of over 7,000 active and retired blue-collar maintenance and service State workers. CEUI members can be found at every State facility. We cook, clean, repair, maintain, and deliver in Connecticut’s State buildings, hospitals, campuses, airports, roads, bridges, and parks. Our mission is to work together to continually improve the quality of life for all working families through collective bargaining, workplace representation, and political action.
