A LABOR DAY MESSAGE
from CSEA President Joe McDermott
On the highways, in school yards and the public
parks, in nursing homes and hospitals and within the vast
local and state government offices throughout The
Empire State, CSEA members are on the job serving New
Yorkers. Every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You should take great pride that your work touches
the lives of all New Yorkers and contributes in an
important way to the quality of life in our state.
Around the clock, every day of the year, you staff
our hospitals, care for our mentally ill and retarded,
respond to emergencies, repair and maintain our roads
and bridges, protect our public health and our
environment, drive our children to school and handle the
countless other details that make New York work.
CSEA members contribute a great deal off the job as
well. You serve your volunteer fire departments, serve
on school boards and community boards and councils,
organize food drives to help the needy and manage your
child's little league team.
One measure of the excellence of the services you
provide on and off the job is that your tireless effort and
commitment are often taken for granted.
This special Labor Day edition of The Public Sector is
dedicated to the more than 250,000 active and retired
public employees represented by CSEA. The typical
CSE.
24-hour period depicted is representative
of your faithful efforts to serve others.
CSEA is proud to represent you and provide
a measure of the recognition you so richly
deserve.
Labor Day is a celebration of the working people and
their achievements. Labor Day is your day. Celebrate.
