Local 2001 - Our Organization

Structure and Bylaws

CSEA/SEIU Local 2001 represents more than 22,000 active public sector workers and retirees. Our organization began as the labor and political advocacy organization for Connecticut State employees in 1941. The Civil Service Employees Affiliates was founded by public workers in municipalities, townships, and school boards in 1969. We saw the opportunity to be stronger together, and over the past seven years have built a single, larger and more powerful public sector union for Connecticut.

Much of the inspiration for state and local public service workers to be "stronger together" came from our experience affiliating with the nation's fastest growing labor union, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Members working for local agencies affiliated with SEIU as Local 760 in 1989, and in 2001, our State employee members and retirees voted to charter with SEIU as Local 2001.

We are organized in 4 divisions, and within each are Councils, formed to allow workers in the same single or similar multiple agencies to join together for political and workplace strength. Our larger Councils are further made up of individual chapters.
