One voice for many.
CSEA Members Ratify Contract with NYS
CSEA members have overwhelmingly ratified a new five-year contract with New York state, securing meaningful investments in wages, health care, workplace protections and quality-of-life improvements for more than 55,000 state employees. The agreement, which runs through April 1, 2031, includes annual salary increases, health insurance improvements that reduce out-of-pocket costs, paid prenatal leave, increased location pay, and other workplace and contractual improvements.
“CSEA members spoke with one voice, and together we secured a contract that recognizes their value. Every day, more than 55,000 CSEA members keep our roads safe, care for our most vulnerable neighbors, maintain our parks and campuses, protect our communities and deliver the public services New Yorkers depend on. This contract is an investment in them and in the future of our state.”
