After the election, CSEA Headquarters
will be putting it’s negotiating team in
place to begin the negotiating process.
I have included the Survey results that
was mailed out to each member back
in the Spring. 22,578 surveys were
received:
The Top Five Priorities were:
#1 Salary increase
#2 Maintain Health Insurance &
Drug Costs
#3 Improve Longevity Payments
#4 Add Longevity Steps
#5 Increase Inconvenience Pay
On behalf of the Local Officers, we
would all like to wish you a happy and
safe holiday season. May all you
dreams come true.

A huge "thank-you" from Region 5 to all our
AFSCME brothers and sisters for their generous
donation in our time of need!
The Region 5 Flood Relief Committee had been
raising funds through direct donations and sales of
the bright green "CSEA Cares" tee shirts that
Donohue and McEntee are pictured wearing.

The members of our Flood Relief Committee sold those shirts at our recent Region
Fall Conference to help raise funds. The monies raised will soon be tallied and
divided up between all CSEA members who registered with us requesting
assistance.
Thanks to all who visited our website at www.cseacares.com and helped their
