Orange-Ulster-Sullivan Retirees Local President Juanita Johnson attends a session at the recent 107th Annual Delegates Meeting in Rochester. During the meeting, CSEA activists got training to build their union leadership skills and knowledge to better allow us to meet challenges that face us. Included in the meeting were plenary sessions on our Never Quit efforts and the constitutional convention vote.
“I’m voting no on a constitutional convention because I don’t want anyone to be at risk for losing our pensions. Without our pensions, many of us would [be unable to retire]. It’s also not right to put
at risk the futures of people who are still working a”nd need their pensions to retire.
— Barbara Shoates, New York Metropolitan Retirees Local 910
“I’m voting NO [on a constitutional convention] because we have worked so hard for our pensions and other rights, including voting, and a conve”ntion risks taking it all away.
— Clarissa Mitchell, New York Metropolitan Retirees Local 910
