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.
