Zamor named June PEOPLE Recruiter of the Month
THIELLS — Marie Zamor of the Hudson Valley DDSO Local in the Southern Region is the PEOPLE Recruiter of the Month for June, recruiting 18 new PEOPLE members.
“With the drastic cuts that federal lawmakers have made,
which benefit billionaires while hurting average people, it’s more important than
Zamor
ever that we step up to support PEOPLE and ensure that our voices as union members are heard in Washington, D.C.,” said Zamor.
CSEA’s PEOPLE program protects and improves our jobs, benefits and pensions
in Washington, Albany and in your community. Your support and participation in PEOPLE strengthens CSEA’s clout in the
workplace, in the legislature, in your community and in the labor movement.
