Our Agenda to Move Connecticut Forward

Ned Statchen P4

Years of grassroots work by CSEA's LAC members, a major investment of resources by SEIU, and the efforts of coalition unions paid off when a model contract reform law for the country was passed here in Connecticut!

Member, Legislative Action Committee

Our Legislative Action Committee (LAC) members propose, discuss, and debate our Local union's priority issues to advocate. Members vote to adopt a quality public services agenda for each session of the Connecticut General Assembly, and agree on the national issues to lobby our Congressional delegation to pursue in Washington, DC.

Whether pushing for bills that protected State workers and retirees' pension and healthcare benefits, fighting budget cutbacks proposed by local municipal officials, or standing-up to vetoes of pro-worker legislation by three successive gubernatorial administrations, our LAC members have been on the front-lines for decades.

Our Executive Committee approves delegates to our LAC, who are active Member Action Organizers (MPOs) able to volunteer the additional time required to serve. Our full LAC typically meets on the first Tuesday of each month at our Local hall in Hartford at 5:15 PM, and our Council 400 LAC delegates meet the first Wednesday of each month at 10:00 AM.
