ROCHESTER — CSEA activists and staff recently visited work sites and homes of thousands of Monroe County members to hear our members’ concerns and build a stronger union.
In addition to listening and connecting with our members, activists and staff also outlined challenges that face our union.
Also getting into the action were CSEA/VOICE child care providers from Monroe County, who also met with our activists and staff to continue building family and union power.
