Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) member, Sheila Smiley of Syracuse, NY, applies first aid cream to a child's arm at her child care. Smiley was part of the overwhelming majority of Child Care Providers Together-NY who voted yes to be part of CSEA. CSEA/Child Care Providers Together-NY, a new CSEA child care union (CSEA Local 100B), won with 96 percent voting in favor of a union. Representatives from Local 100B will now join CSEA/VOICE Local 100A at the table for negotiations with the Office of Children and Family Services. One contract will cover both child care locals, a similar structure that CSEA uses for state contracts.
