Former Wal-Mart executive-turned union organizer Gretchen Adams holding up a Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) tee-shirt from the CSEA Women's Committee at the 2002 CSEA Women's Conference held in Rye Brook, Westchester County, New York. The tee-shirt shows Rosie the Riveter flexing her muscle with the motto: "A woman's place . . . Is in her Union." More than 500 women and men participated in many energy-packed programs and workshops that empowered members personally and professionally and laid the foundation to build an even more powerful union. The CSEA is New York State's largest union.
