Rochester, N.Y.-- On September 9, Local 828 officers attended a political action fundrasier for CSEA endorsed Monroe County Legislative Candidate for the 19th District (Greece), Jo Meleca-Voigt. For a quick look about her candidacy, please click here.

CSEA is committed to political clout. Cris Zaffuto, Political Action Co-Chair for Local 828 says, "Where else do workers get to decide who their bosses are?" She added, "By voting for labor friendly candidates, it helps assure our place at the table when legislation is proposed. Additionally, we need people in local office who understand the concerns of our working families." Zaffuto also encourages all members to check out the PEOPLE program.

PEOPLE is CSEA and AFSCME's political action program. The PEOPLE program protects and improves our jobs, benefits and pensions in Washington, Albany and in our community. Your support and participation in PEOPLE strengthens CSEA's position in the workplace, in the legislature, and in the labor movement.

Monroe County Legislative races that our Region PAC targeted this year include Frank Muscato (D,WFP- 4th District, Gates), Mike Condello (D, WFP- 13th District, Henrietta), Nora Bredes (D, WFP-18th, Perinton) and Jo Meleca-Voigt, D,WFP- 19th District, Greece).
