Ulster-Greene ARC Members Choose SEIU Local 200United

On August 7, 2009, we welcomed our newest brothers and sisters at Ulster-Greene ARC.  They overwhelmingly voted to have SEIU Local 200United represent them at the bargaining table and at the workplace.  We welcome them into our family, and now look forward to ramping up a contract campaign to benefit the direct care workers there as well as the clients they serve.  Welcome, Ulster-Greene ARC!

After three years in a servicing agreement with Ulster-Greene ARC, SEIU Local 200United decided it was time to invite these wonderful direct care workers into our Union family.  Through hundreds of conversations, literature, and hard work, they worked with our staff to bring SEIU Local 200United into their facility.  Great work, Ulster-Greene members!

 Some words from our newest members:

I have been involved with SEIU Local 200 since they began servicing the members at UGARC. Local 200 has offered me the opportunity to take part in negotiations, political events, training and being a shop steward. I love being a part of a positive organization.
Deborah Quick, Wall Street Day Hab

Thanks to SEIU Local 200 United and Andrea Campbell I have my job today. I am proof that it is so important to have your Union Representative in every Quality Assurance investigation.
Dessie Parkes, Reed IRA
