May 3, 2011 CSEA Unit 9200 Meeting at WPHS

Members have been asking what is being done to counter the negative stories about municipal workers and about union members.  
CSEA Inc. has been conducting political awareness workshops for all concerned members to become aware and to learn important facts to enable us to counter the negative stories. Recently, workshops were held on Feb 12 in Fishkill for Region 3 officers, on March 3 for all Unit 9200 members, and March 10 for all officers of the 94 Units in Westchester at the CSEA office on W. Hartsdale Ave.   

CSEA Inc. has been providing the information YOU NEED to get involved and to counter those stories that place blame for the economic woes on us and our families. 

Factual multimedia information was presented concerning the NYS pension system, our salaries, our higher education levels as compared to private industry workers, the achievements of unions in improving the lives of all workers during the last 100 years, the Triborough Amendment, the effects of the 2008 Wall Street mismanagement and resulting economic recession, and the influence of billionaire corporate directors after the Jan. 2010 Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case allowing corporations unlimited unidentified spending for political advertising.
We need to be informed and to use our individual abilities to counter the untruths and stories being spread to weaken unions, to undo decades of worker rights gains, to blame workers for the economic collapse, and about other matters that will impact our families. 

If you wish to be proactive in helping ourselves, then you should attend the next meeting May 3, 2011 at the  White Plains High School 550 North Street, White Plains, NY 10605.  A similar program of March 3 will be presented for more members who attend.
Light dinner 5:30 PM, program starts 6:15 PM after the 6 PM meeting business.

Don’t be asking "What is CSEA doing?".
