FLUSHING — More than 70 CSEA members took the field at the New York Mets’ Citi Field before the team’s September 29 game.
Our members, sporting ‘Proud Union Member’ t-shirts, were joined by thousands of other union members for the Mets’ Union Night at Citi Field.
In addition to watching the game, CSEA members lined up on the warning track for the National Anthem, proudly displaying their t-shirts and union pride.
Each union was also recognized at a home plate ceremony.
