Hoffman became the driving force in the legal department's development, leading it from a handful of lawyers, limited resources and no history of accomplishment to one of the most respected and effective operations in organized labor. In this photograph, Nancy Hoffman works at her desk in CSEA Headquarters.

Description:
Nassau County recently issued layoff notices to Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) 243 Nassau Local members; and nearly 200 more county workers were demoted several pay grades, forcing a direct impact on county residents and the services they receive. Another 114 CSEA members from 16 different departments accepted voluntary retirement packages which preserved roughly 150 jobs that otherwise would have been lost to a second round of layoffs. Auto Shop Supervisor Sean Gavin repairs a street sweeper. Vehicle maintenance, snow removal and care for parks will all be more difficult with Nassau County's loss of workers through layoffs.

According to Town of Fallsburg Unit President and Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) member Gene Benson, the time is right for labor activists to run for office. In November 2011, he defeated an entrenched Republican incumbent in the race to represent Fallsburg and a portion of Neversink in the Sullivan County Legislature. Gene Benson, shown here on his day job at the Town of Fallsburg, successfully ran for county office after seeing injustices done to workers.

Description:
Photo of Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA), Westchester County Local President John Staino, shown attending a press conference in October 2011, used as a headshot in the February 2012 Work Force. Westchester Medical Center CEO Mike Israel told local media he plans to "restructure" the hospital's Behavioral Health Center which provides a variety of services for residents struggling with mental illness. He abruptly laid off 155 CSEA members who care for some of the hospital's most vulnerable patients and will replace them with lower-paid contractors. This attack comes on the heels of 105 CSEA layoffs in December 2011.

Description:
Cover of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) monthly publication The Work Force from February 2012. Vital services on the line: Nassau County services face drastic cuts due to misguided layoffs. Nassau County recently issued layoff notices to 243 Nassau Local members; and nearly 200 more county workers were demoted several pay grades, forcing a direct impact on county residents and the services they receive. Another 114 CSEA members from 16 different departments accepted voluntary retirement packages which preserved roughly 150 jobs that otherwise would have been lost to a second round of layoffs. In this photo Nassau County Probation Officer Randy Knight holds a stack of paper work previously done by clerical staff that have been laid off. Probation workers are concerned that public safety will be compromised by the layoffs.
