One voice for many.
CSEA.
AMPLIFYING YOUR VOICE.
Our union brings together the diverse voices of more than 250,000 hardworking members united by a common goal: a better life and a secure future. When we stand together and speak with one voice, we build power to protect each other, win real improvements, and support the vital public services our communities rely on. We are CSEA Local 1000, AFSCME, AFL-CIO. We are one voice for many.

Enacted FY 2027 State Budget includes victories for CSEA
The enacted FY 2027 budget delivers a major victory for CSEA members in Tiers 5 & 6. After years of advocacy and organizing, CSEA has secured a historic reduction in employee contribution rates that puts money back in members’ pockets.
Tier 6 Agreement Brings Fairness, Boosts Affordability
CSEA applauds Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature for reaching an agreement on pension reform that will improve retirements for public employees under Tiers 5 and 6. This is a major step toward pension reform, but there is more work to do.
DiNapoli’s transparency, commitment to union labor highlighted
CSEA Metropolitan Region members and staff greet and cheer for State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli before his Comptroller debate on May 21. Comptroller DiNapoli did not disappoint in a performance that clearly showed he is the best candidate to protect our pensions. “With stable, trusted stewardship, Tom has protected what hardworking New Yorkers have earned,” said CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan. “On the debate stage, it was evident that Tom’s 20 years of experience and success as the state’s chief auditor are unmatched.”
