Who we Are:  Our Union

 

CSEA is one of New York’s largest and most influential worker unions, providing workers the OPPORTUNITY to come together collectively and collaboratively to build POWER while working to improve both our professional and personal lives. We are firmly built on the unshakable foundation of strength in numbers and unity.

​Union membership is a valuable investment in the long-term future for you, your loved ones, and your family. The modest dues you pay today return to you in numerous ways, multiplied many times over, both in the present and in the years ahead.

​Union membership works like a comprehensive insurance policy: While we hope you’ll never need to rely on many of our protections, you’ll undoubtedly feel secure knowing they’re available and ready to support you if and when you ever do.

​CSEA proudly serves as the largest affiliate union of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which itself is one of the largest and most prominent affiliate unions within the international house of labor, the AFL-CIO.
