About the City Union of Baltimore

The City Union of Baltimore, Local 800, AFT, AFL-CIO became the primary bargaining union for Baltimore City employees on January 28, 1988 and received their charter July 1, 1988. The City Union of Baltimore fondly known as “CUB” was formed to become a more effective bargaining agent for employees. CUB began with 800 members and thus, the “800” was chosen to be its local number. The membership has now grown to be the bargaining unit representing 5,000 Baltimore City and Baltimore City Public School System employees.

CUB’s first office space was 101 East 25th Street. Then CUB moved to 2527 St
