Mission Statement

The CCPD PBA exists to represent

people who work. The mission of the Union is to envision a future in which work

and all people who work are valued, respected and rewarded. The PBA represents

hundreds of working people who belong to this union and have the benefits of

union membership; the PBA embraces all people who share the common bond of work. 



We strive to fulfill the yearning of the human spirit for liberty, justice and community, to advance individual and

associations freedom, to vanquish ­oppression, privation and cruelty in all

their forms; and to join with all persons, of whatever nationality or faith,

who cherish the cause of democracy and the call of solidarity, to grace the

planet with these achievements. We dedicate ourselves to improving the lives of

working families, bringing fairness and dignity to the workplace and securing

social equity in the workplace



Work is what we do to better ourselves, to build dreams and to support our families. But work is more than

that. Work cures, creates, builds, innovates and shapes the future. Work

connects us all. The PBA is an organization of people who work. We help

lead a movement for social and economic justice.
