Danny Donohue serves as the 22nd president of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) from 1994 to the present . Under his leadership, CSEA is stronger and more effective because of his multi-pronged agenda that emphasizes contract negotiations, political action and organizing. Under Donohue's leadership, CSEA has earned a reputation for being at the forefront on a wide range of public policy issues. Donohue has been a leading advocate on issues of importance to all New Yorkers including fair and responsible budgets, affordable prescription drug coverage, preserving quality health care, and improving public education. CSEA was the first union in the state to negotiate for less-expensive prescription drugs from Canada. Donohue's leadership on the New York State AFL-CIO's Pension Task Force produced the most sweeping pension improvements in a generation for public employees, securing permanent cost-of-living allowances for retired public employees.
