Capitol Western Chapter Info Session

41 Anthony Ave, Augusta 41 Anthony Ave, Augusta, Maine

Come sow some new connections and meet your Union.

This informal Capitol Western Information Session will be hosted by Chapter President Jake Teitelbaum. Union reps, stewards, and comrades will come together to listen to members' questions, hopes for our bargaining units and concerns about your worksite, and to hear feedback about what is working and what you would like to see more of. Refreshments will be provided.

STAY TUNED
Can’t make it on 2/27/25? No sweat—we’ll be holding more worksite sessions this spring. Details will be sent out shortly.

Join Us! – St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Fish Pier Parking Lot 320 Commercial St, Portland, Maine

Join fellow MSEA members on Sunday, March 16, as we march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade starting at 12pm in Portland. The parade is sponsored by the Irish American Club of Maine.
We’ll meet up at 11:15am at the Fish Pier Parking Lot, 320 Commercial St., Portland (the corner of Center and Commercial streets), and at 12pm march through Commercial Street in Portland to Bellbuoy Park, just shy of the Casco Bay Ferry Terminal building.
This year’s Grand Marshall is Mary McAleney, the former executive director of the Maine Irish Heritage Center. We’ll be marching with other unionists, multiple marching groups, including the Irish American Club’s Parade of Flags, two pipe and drum bands, the Stillson School of Irish Dance team, representatives from the U.S. Navy crew aboard the USS Gallagher, and local police and fire departments.
Please spread the word about joining us March 16 in Portland. We look forward to seeing you there!
In Solidarity,
James McClay, President, Cumberland Chapter, who will be marching once again as Saint Patrick,
and Mark Brunton, MSEA-SEIU President
