The Local 371 Women’s Network once again received hundreds of toys from our generous members to help with our holiday toy drive. We were able to give toys to members suffering financial hardship and spread the message that our union takes care of each other. We hope you all had a save and memorable holiday season.

Over two hundred of our union stewards attended our annual training seminar. They heard from statewide leaders as well as our union leadership, and participated in trainings to better represent their coworkers and create stronger, more unified workplaces.

Thank you to our members, our sponsors, and our golfers for participating in this year’s golf tournament. We are please to announce we raised $40,000 this year. Our sunny day of golf and camaraderie led us to be able to donate $10,000 to the Make A Wish Foundation, and the rest will be donated to charities local to Connecticut, Vermont, and Western Massachusetts, and will be used to help members in need.

While many Local 371 members have enjoyed paid disability through their union insurance, paid family leave is an important new benefit available to CT workers starting 1/1/22. This protects you not only in the case of your own illness or injury, but also covers you when you need time off to care for a sick family member, the birth of a child, and many other reasons. Applications are now being accepted. https://fb.watch/9JUDZPFIq4/
