UPTE is proud to be a member-run union. At every level of our organization, broad participation in our decision-making is essential to keeping our union strong.
That includes the hundreds of unit and workplace representatives who are tackling the day-to-day issues we face at work, and also the delegates who debate our broader strategy and help set the course of our union each year at UPTE's Annual Convention (see a recap of last year here).
UPTE's 2024 Convention will take place at the San Diego Mission Bay Resort on September 28 & 29.
The delegate nomination period will open on May 21, 2024, and close on June 5, 2024. Nominations must be confirmed by June 14.
