Who are the CSEA Local 865 Members?

Nassau Educational - 6,000 Members Representing 68 Nassau County School Districts

We are union workers, who can and will join together to enjoy the clout which comes only from solidarity. We are civil service workers who share a common goal, which is to negotiate with our employers from a position of strength. We are workers who know that you have to belong to be strong.

All of our current wages, future raises, health insurance, benefits, and even the rules our members work under are the direct result of contracts that the CSEA has negotiated with employers. In fact, negotiating contracts is our number one priority.

The CSEA is proud that we are a grassroots union where the members themselves elect their officers, and where only members can serve on negotiating teams and vote to ratify contracts.

The CSEA also has a respected political action network to represent your interests before elected officials. As part of the Local 1000, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, we belong to the most powerful International Union in the U.S.A.

To our members we say: Get Involved!! The more involved you are, the stronger we are, and the more rewarding your membership will be.
