CSEA (Civil Service Employees Association), the largest labor union for New York State employees, announced that its members overwhelmingly voted in favor of ratifying a new five-year state contract for more than 52,000 workers representing all four of the union’s executive branch bargaining units.
A tentative agreement for the new state contract had been reached in June 2022 between Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration and CSEA’s negotiating team. Electronic voting and paper ballots were tallied during the first week of August, resulting in the passage.
This contract will be retroactive from April 2021 through April 2026 and will cover CSEA union members in a variety of roles and departments statewide.
