CSEA Statement on the Passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
ALBANY – CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan issued the following statement on the passing of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
“CSEA deeply mourns the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was an incredible champion of justice. Her work in defending the law helped greatly advance civil rights, women’s rights and labor rights in this country. The incredible legacy she leaves behind must never be forgotten as we carry her memory with us while union members continue her fight to secure the rights for all people. To say that America has lost someone amazing is a true understatement. On behalf of CSEA, I extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.”

CSEA Supports Joe Biden for President

Coronavirus Information
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all workers throughout New York, and CSEA has created an informational page to share accurate information regarding how this virus has impacted workers and the many labor relations issues that have arisen from workplace closures and safety protocols.
The staff professionals in our union’s Occupational Safety & Health Department have been closely monitoring the situation and providing appropriate guidance to union members. This includes a series of available on-demand webinars, and a section of Frequently Asked Questions.

With school reopening plans being developed in school districts across the state, there is a lot of uncertainty and fear about how we reopen our schools so that they are as safe as possible for school workers, children, and the entire school community.
With that in mind, CSEA has created our Safe@School Initiative, which is designed to be a one-stop-shop of resources regarding school safety during the pandemic.
If you are a school worker, please take advantage of the information on this page to help make sure your school community is protected to the greatest extent possible.
Essential workers: Are you in need of alternate childcare?
If you or any of the members who are performing essential work keeping our state running are in need of childcare, CSEA has been putting workers in touch with members who work as licensed childcare providers. To make such arrangements, call our CSEA/VOICE call center at 877-483-2732.

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.
