CSEA pushes for pension tier equity

CSEA Capital Region members, led by Region President Shana Davis, fight for pension equity during a 2024 New York State Capitol rally.

Nearly 4,500 CSEA members in Tier 6 recently took part in our union’s survey on what matters most in the fight for tier equity. 

When asked to rank possible changes, members identified these top priorities:

  • Lowering pension contribution rates
  • Increasing the value of a pension at 20 years of service to match Tiers 4 and 5
  • Reducing penalties for retiring before age 63

Tier 6 reform will be at the top of CSEA’s legislative agenda in 2026, but we can’t win these changes without member action.

Sign up for Tier 6 advocacy updates today so you can help fight for pension equity for all CSEA members.
