An Important Message from CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan
Fellow CSEA members,
Right now I am feeling the same things I know so many of you are, anxiety, uncertainty. But information is power. CSEA staff and leaders are working together to get the best information to you: https://cseany.org/coronavirus-information.
CSEA is open. Staff is available to continue CSEA business.
As CSEA members, we’re the ones on the front lines when disaster and crisis strike. The outbreak of COVID-19 is unprecedented, but one thing is certain: we are the ones who respond and take care of our communities in both good times AND bad. Our communities look to us, and even in the face of unprecedented challenges, we don’t back down.
Now more than ever it is important for our union to be able to communicate. Please contact us to make sure we have current contact information for you.
Update us by creating your online member account at https://cseany.org/register. If you’ve already signed on to our website you can login then select “MY CSEA ACCOUNT” in the application dropdown box. You can also download the My CSEA mobile app for Android or iPhone.
Too often our work goes unnoticed. On behalf of all of CSEA, let me offer our deepest gratitude for all that you are doing in this difficult time. Thank you to each and every one of you.
Stay union, stay strong, stay home and stay healthy!
In solidarity,
Coronavirus Information
COVID-19, or the coronavirus, is an emerging risk in the United States and the situation continues to rapidly develop.
Every hour, the public health community is learning new things about this virus. In our response to this growing threat, only accurate and reliable information should be distributed. Misinformation may lead to fear and panic and may hinder an effective response.
While the medical community continues to learn more, our staff professionals in CSEA’s Occupational Safety & Health Department will be closely monitoring the situation and providing appropriate guidance to union members.

New State Budget “Unsustainable”
With New York at the epicenter of this public health crisis, our state’s recently-enacted budget will not be able to handle the coming economic crisis, without huge cuts to vital services and programs New Yorkers depend on every day. CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan has warned that the budget is unsustainable without a massive influx of aid from our federal government. Vital public services are already stretched thin, and are reaching a breaking point. Read President Sullivan’s budget statement here.

Welcome to our redesigned web site! We hope we’ve made it easier to navigate and more useful for you. It’s still a work in progress and we appreciate your patience as we work out any issues. Please let us know if you can’t find what you’re looking for or have ideas for what we could add. This is one more way we’re working hard to improve communications to get information to our members and build a stronger union.

CSEA and the need for an accurate census count
It might seem like during a crisis, the Census should be the last thing on people’s minds. As New York is in deep economic trouble, that’s definitely not the case.
The Census is an opportunity to make sure all our governments and communities get all the funding they are entitled to. This matters to ALL our members. When people fail to get counted, we all lose.
Filled out your Census form? Enter now for your chance to win!
If you’ve already filled out your U.S. Census form, and you’re an active CSEA member or Retiree Division member, you can enter our contest to win one of 7 brand new Apple iPad tablets!
