CSEA's PEOPLE program protects and improves our jobs, benefits and pensions in
Washington, Albany and your community. Your
participation in PEOPLE strengthens CSEA's clout in
the workplace, in the legislature, in your community
and in the labor movement.
PEOPLE
Creates Lobbying Clout

Research, analysis and
breakdowns on what government budgets, bills and other

benefits and pensions.

Lobbying for funds to better
your contracts and to make sure our elected officials
know when their position helps...or hurts you.

Testimony at public hearings
to educate elected officials about how their decisions
affect you.
PEOPLE
Provides Member Education & Involvement
Lobby days, phone banks, letter writing
campaigns, fliers and other important resources to
make sure YOU have the tools to fight back when
harmful proposals are introduced.
Member education and information about where
candidates stand on the issues that affect your
work-life and pension...so you can be informed when
you vote.
PEOPLE
Means Action on Issues and Elections
Political clout is important in passing laws
that improve the lives of CSEA members but it is also
important in making your voice heard when problems
like privatizing or closing facilities arise.
Political clout can be used to back up stalled
contract battles and to back up organizing new
members. Whether it's a school, village, town, city,
the state or the national government, every CSEA
member will need political clout at some time in their
career.
Political Action provides education materials
for CSEA members about where politicians stand on
issues that affect your work-lives so you can make
informed decisions on Election Day. CSEA members also
volunteer through political action to provide
grassroots, phone bank and financial help for
candidates who will fight for you in elected office.
