On Monday November 14th, the Massachusetts Division of Labor Relation counted the election ballots for the Massachusetts Port Authority Police Department bargaining unit and when the counting was done the New England Police Benevolent Association was elected as the exclusive bargaining unit representative for the MassPort Police Union. The New England Police Benevolent Association continues to expand in Massachusetts as the MassPort Police Union has become the latest members of the fastest growing law enforcement labor organization in New England.

NEPBA State Director Sean R. McArdle called the election, “a great day for the hard working and dedicated members of the Massachusetts Port Authority Police Department, who clearly want to be represented by a law enforcement union who respects and understands the needs of police officers.”

NEPBA Executive Director Jerry Flynn stated, “We are extremely proud to be representing the men and women of the MassPort Police Department and our organization is looking forward to providing them with the services and representation they so deserve. I would like to give a special thanks to the Longshoremen who gave this bargaining unit there volunteer release and worked with the local executive board until this process was complete. They were a real class act during this transition”
