For more than 100 years, CSEA members have been fighting for working people through collective action–people working together–to get the job done.

These are no ordinary times. The middle class is suffering; wages are being cut, benefits denied and jobs privatized. There is a steady drumbeat of old, telling us that management dictates the rules of our work and we have no say in our conditions.

Union members know this is not true.

We know, we hold the power to turn it around through union organizing. We hold bargaining power that makes lasting changes in our lives and strengthens our communities. On the job, we’re passionate about the work we do. Whether we work for the state, local government, in the schools or the private sector, we’re proud to provide the services we all rely on every day to make our lives better.
