Overview

Mission

Labor union

What it reported doing in 2024

All expenses were incurred in the service of state employees in their negotiated labor contract between the state of Connecticut and their members. The services involved general contract administration, litigation, and arbitration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
