Ed Collins, president of the Clarkson University Local, who received the 2007 Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Mission Achievement Award for the private sector division. He was honored with the prestigious award for his leadership of his co-workers during the union's organizing and subsequent contract campaign at Clarkson. In 2006, Collins led CSEA-represented facilities and services workers at Clarkson through a public contract campaign after university administrators offered the employees a wage increase that would not allow them to keep up with rising costs of living. He is credited as a key force in holding the members together in solidarity throughout the campaign.
