QSAC (Quality Services for the Autism Community) workers, Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) members and activists from Jobs with Justice holding up letters at a Mets baseball game at Shea Stadium in New York City, that reads "Hey QSAC Union Yes." The workers were trying to organize a union at their workplace after they became fed up with short staffing, high turn over, arbitrary firings and disciplinary actions and problems with food and medical supplies. They formed a committee called QCARE (Quality Care Advocates for the Rights of Employees) which worked with CSEA to stand up and fight for fair representation on the job, and after more than a year-long fight won union representation and became part of CSEA in 2004.
