Members Run the Union
You and your fellow members elect the leadership of Local 1000, who determine the strategy and set the policies and budget that governs all union activity.

Research
Local 1000’s Research Department offers a broadly talented resource that parallels the diversity of issues confronting a public sector union of our size. The department’s research combats state efforts to outsource jobs and reduce hard-won benefits. Researchers also provide critical information for bargaining and campaigns, and analyze proposed legislation. Our staff reaches beyond the traditional scope of union research to initiate policy studies and investigate the merits of innovations such as performance-based budgeting.
