Together we can make a difference
When it comes to your workplace safety and job security, there has never been a more important time to be a member of CSEA. Now is the time to have an advocate like CSEA on your side.
Your membership and participation in CSEA help us achieve results when it comes to safer schools and job security. With your support, we can negotiate for better health insurance, sick leave and the other important benefits you and your family rely on. Together, we can make improvements for all classified employees and the students we serve.
Exclusive services and peace of mind
As a CSEA member, you are represented at all levels. We're your advocate on the job and your personal support network of nearly 250,000 members and 250 professional labor experts throughout the state.
Beyond negotiating the best possible contracts for classified employees, we make sure our members' rights are always protected. CSEA also offers a wide range of programs to help its members both on and off the job, including dozens of training programs, scholarship opportunities, member-only insurance programs, financial services, free legal assistance and much more.
Every member has a voice
While the services we offer our members are unmatched, it is the democracy of CSEA that really sets us apart. For nearly a century, CSEA has thrived as a democratic, member-governed union. That means, as a member, YOU are the union. All of our decision-making comes from the membership. From your local chapter to the state board of directors, CSEA's leadership is comprised of democratically elected volunteers who work regular classified jobs, just like you. Every member has a voice. Join us as we work together to make a difference!
