Presbyterian Home for Central New York Workers Join Local One

Presbyterian Home for Central New York workers are proud to be a part of our growing UFCW health care family.

On Jan. 19, workers at Presbyterian Home for Central New York in New Hartford, New York, voted in favor of joining UFCW Local One’s Professional and Health Care Division.  The unit consists of licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, as well as housekeepers, secretaries, and service, maintenance, and dietary workers.

“We are delighted to welcome our newest members from the Presbyterian Home,” said UFCW Local One President Frank DeRiso.  “This organizing committee had to endure an onslaught of anti-union efforts, unfair labor practice charges, illegal captive audience meetings, benefit promises and more. It’s nice to see that they stuck together and worked so hard for this.”
