If you’re a teacher, police officer, firefighter, or municipal worker in Connecticut and suspect something’s not right with your union’s finances — you don’t have to stay silent. You have legal tools to fight back.
Connecticut law allows you to request a state audit if you believe your union is engaged in corruption or abuse. Unions that refuse to comply with financial transparency requirements can face fines and investigations by the Department of Labor. Demand your annual financial report. If your union won’t provide it, that’s a red flag — and Yankee Institute is here to help. Laws only matter if we enforce them. Don’t let silence cover up misuse of your dues.
