“Every day, CSEA members like you work tirelessly to provide public services in every community across New York. Your dedication and hard work does not go unnoticed, and to honor your contributions, I am proud to designate May as Member Appreciation Month once again. New Yorkers across the state rely on your services, and you consistently deliver. Whether you work for the state, local
government, a school district, or in the private sector, your work is crucial. You are an essential part of the fabric of our communities, whether performing everyday tasks or responding to crises.”
“I'm raising my glass today to toast the true backbone of New York, our extraordinary CSEA family, to our 200,000 dedicated state, county and municipal workers who don't just keep our state running. You're really the unsung heroes who show up every
day, sometimes doing double time without
recognition. From plowing our roads in the
winter to ensuring clean drinking water, your
service never wavers. My 30 years in public office has taught me one thing. I have worked with you closely in many of my positions, and I have never taken you for granted, and I never will. We appreciate and celebrate you every single day.”
