Decker takes over the duties formerly handled by the executive director.
Delegates at the annual convention elected one of their own, a new president who understands from personal experience the workplace issues affecting union members. Two slates of candidates ran a spirited, closely contested campaign. Local 1984, the State Employees Association of New Hampshire, includes an aggressive negotiating stance in the current round of collective bargaining with the state, a growing and active membership, and greater participation by members in a stronger steward system. I will respect every single member, even when I don't agree with them. Decker said in addressing the convention delegates.
