UFPO WELCOMES LUDLOW (VT)

On December 10th, the Vermont Labor Relations Board certified the United Federation of Police Officers as the exclusive bargaining unit representative for the Ludlow (VT) Police Department bargaining unit. The Ludlow Police Association unanimously wanted to disaffiliate itself from New England PBA and join the United Federation of Police Officers, Inc. The members wanted a union that would be able to address all the needs of a Vermont Police Union. In speaking with local leadership, they were concerned that the N.E.P.B.A. could no longer provided the overall expertise that UFPO has to offer to police officers in Vermont, and after careful consideration the members took the necessary steps to change unions. They are now members of the fastest growing police union in the State of Vermont. We welcome them to the growing UFPO family.
