BINGHAMTON — For the first time since 2019, CSEA recently held an in-person member engagement visit with Broome County members.
At meetings in several county departments, including Social Services, Emergency Services and the county’s nursing home, county workers discussed workplace concerns with CSEA Broome County Unit officers, CSEA field mobilization staff, Central Region staff and AFSCME staff.
The worksite meetings were successful, with several nonmembers becoming members and potential new activists identified.
Another important lesson from the meetings – a simple act of engagement of nonmembers can convert them successfully to becoming CSEA members.
