Stephanie Miller

CWA Local 1180 welcomes Stephanie Miller as our newest Staff Representative, bringing with her 15 years of dedicated service with DSS/HRA and a strong record of union advocacy. 

Miller began her career with the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) in the Court Referral Unit, where she quickly developed a reputation for her work ethic and commitment to public service. In 2018, she was appointed a Principal Administrative Associate (PAA) and joined the Investigation Revenue and Enforcement Administration (IREA), working within the SNAP Claims and Recovery Unit—and officially becoming a proud CWA Local 1180 member. 

Her leadership and dedication didn’t go unnoticed. In 2021, Stephanie was promoted to PAA II, continuing her work within the same department. She went on to serve as a Shop Steward, advocating on behalf of her coworkers, and played an active role on multiple unionrelated committees, including as a member of QWL and Labor Co-Chair for Employee Recognition. 

Miller lives by the powerful words of Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 

Now, as a Staff Rep, Miller said she is excited to bring that same philosophy to her role at Local 1180. 

“I’m honored to take on this role as Staff Rep and I'm committed to making sure our members feel heard, supported, and protected,” she said. “I come from the ranks so I understand the challenges—and I’m here to fight for what’s fair and make sure no one ever feels like they’re facing those challenges alone.” 

Miller has already hit the ground running in her new position and is actively making rounds to meet with members at the sites she represents.
