 Martin Luther King....King observed that "the labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation but enlarged it. By raising the living standards of millions, labor miraculously created a market for industry and lifted the whole nation to undreamed of levels of production. Those who today attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them."  Why he was in Memphis. (click the name for more)

                              Four Options:

1.  The CSEA WORK INSTITUTE distributes booklets that help CSEA Union Members prepare for state and local government civil service exams.
Booklets coincide with various areas listed on civil service announcements under "Subject of Examinations."  
Please read your examination notice to determine the "Subject of Examination" topics of the exam and therefore which of the Test Prep Books you will need.

These booklets are available free on-line to CSEA Union Members in Adobe Acrobat pdf * format.

Each book is a large file of 50 to 60 or more pages; use a high speed internet connection such as in an office to download and print. If you can print to a copier/printer, try printing them double-sided. 

You can download the booklets by clicking the blue banner below. 
If you are a CSEA Union member, you will have to register for free and create a Username and Password to get to the free booklets.
