Strengthening our union, one by one
BROOKHAVEN — CSEA members and activists recently met with members at their homes and work sites throughout Suffolk County as part of CSEA’s ongoing member engagement efforts.
We are working to strengthen our union by connecting with members through one-on-one conversations, in
which we are listening to members’ concerns and exchanging ideas. During these ongoing efforts, we are also giving our members updates on challenges that our union faces.
On this page are photos from the recent Suffok County visit.
