Avoiding Section 75 Discipline Charges

click: Janus v. AFSCME is a threat to all workers

Feb 26, 2018  The Janus case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court poses a threat not only to unions, but to all working people. If the Janus case prevails, unions will lose the ability to collect dues, and will be required to provide services to workers who refuse to contribute their fair share.

The basic right for workers to form and join unions did not come without struggle. Fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood with striking Memphis sanitation workers in their quest for union rights and justice and dignity, and advanced the slogan, “I Am A Man.” Fifty years ago, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta stood with striking farmworkers in Delano, California in a five-year campaign that resulted in the very first union for farmworkers, and proclaimed, “¡Sí, se puede!” or, “Yes, we can!”

Buy American Push for NYS Budget

“Buy American” has become a popular phrase across the country. But here in New York State, the labor movement has been pushing “Buy American” for several years. And now, we are closer than ever to enacting this groundbreaking legislation.
Gov. Cuomo recently introduced strong “Buy American” requirements in his executive budget to help create good paying jobs and keep our tax dollars here at home.

CSEA CARES ABOUT OUR SANITATION WORKERS!

That’s why CSEA Statewide President Danny Donohue has formed a new Statewide Sanitation Workgroup, headed up by activists working in the industry and calling on the expertise of the staff professionals in our union’s Occupational Safety and Health Department, as well as our Political Action, Communications, and Legal Departments. CSEA will never quit when it comes to protecting the lives, health and safety of our members on the job!

Across the state, CSEA represents hundreds, if not thousands, of workers in the sanitation industry, many who pickup residential refuse and/or recycling.

This can be some of the most dangerous work performed by public workers. Sanitation workers have twice the fatality rates of police officers, and nearly seven times the fatality rates of firefighters.
