Putting Our Members First

Message from the President
Welcome to the official website of the Long Island Public Service Employees Union.
Since our founding in 1965, our union has stood as a proud and steadfast advocate for working men and women across Long Island. For more than six decades, LIPSE has remained committed to protecting the rights, dignity, and livelihoods of our members — and that mission continues today with renewed strength and focus.
It has been the privilege and honor of my life to represent this union for the past 21 years. Every day, I am reminded that our greatest strength is not found in any single leader, but in the collective unity of our membership. Together, we work tirelessly to secure stronger contracts, fair wages, improved working conditions, and a better quality of life for every member and their family.
Here at LIPSE, your best interests are always our priority. Our leadership team remains dedicated to transparency, accountability, and advocacy at every level. We believe that when our members succeed, our communities grow stronger.
This new website reflects our continued commitment to communication and accessibility. It will serve as a resource for members, a place for updates and important information, and a window into the work we do on your behalf every day.
Whether you are a long-time member, a new member, or a visitor seeking to learn more about our organization, we welcome you. We look forward to continuing to build a stronger, more unified union together.
William "Bill" Hennessey
President
LIPSE Local 342
