Message From the President Brothers and sisters, as the New Year has come upon us, the attack on Public employees continues. The Governor and the elected officials have hit an all-time low by going after our life savings, nest egg, and our pensions. The Governor is saying public-sector pensions are crippling the State of New York. He is saying elected officials have given in to the demands of public unions who want only to fatten their members' retirement benefits without the public noticing. They charge that public employee pension’s obligations are out of control. Most public employees don't have generous pensions. After a career with annual pay averaging less than $45,000, the typical newly-retired public employee receives a pension of $19,000 a year. Few would call that overly generous. And most of that $19,000 isn't even on taxpayers' shoulders. While they're working, most public employees contribute a portion of their salaries into their pension plans. Taxpayers are directly responsible for only The main reason for underfunded pensions in both public and private sectors is investment losses that occurred during the Great Recession. Before then, public pension funds had an average of 86 percent of all the assets Isn't it curious when it comes to sacrifice, the governor doesn’t include the richest people in New York? On the contrary, he insists the rich should sacrifice even less, enjoying even larger tax cuts that expand public- sector deficits. That means fewer public services, and even more pressure on the wages and benefits of public employees. It's only average workers -- both in the public and the private sectors -- who are being called upon to sacrifice. This is what the current governor and elected officials attack on public-sector workers is really all about. Their version of class warfare is to pit private-sector workers against public servants. They'd rather set average working people against one another -- comparing one group's modest incomes and benefits with another group's modest incomes and benefits -- than have New Yorkers see that the top 1 percent is now raking in a bigger share of national income than at any time since 1928, and paying at a lower tax rate. Brothers and sisters 2012 is the year we say, enough! Time to stand strong together Brothers and Sisters and make a difference. I’ve said these words often, and I can’t say them enough! These politicians are trying to push us out of our homes and In Unionism, Carlos Speight, CSEA Local 614 President

Local 614 and the Long Island Patriots
On February 12, 2011 CSEA Local 614 Executive Vice President Debbie Nappi -Gonzalez met with Coach John Van Wyk and baseball teamU12 Long Island Patriots at the All Pro facility in East Setauket, NY. Debbie presented Coach Van Wyk and George Rainer with a $500.00 check for the team. CSEA Local 614 SUNY Stony Brook raised these funds by raffling off a TV to show support of the baseball team and assist on their mission to raise enough funds to help scale back costs for the kids to attend a tournament in Cooperstown, NY. Coach Van Wyk, a dedicated father who has been coaching these boys since they were an intramural team, finds it inspiring and encourages the boys to strive to do their best. With hard work and determination, the team has achieved their goal in obtaining a spot in a tournament at Cooperstown Dreams Park. The team will also have the opportunity to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame. The expense of this trip is costly per child and CSEA Local 614 is proud to be able to respond to their request of a donation by way of a fundraiser, and helping a local community children’s baseball team. We will continue to support children in sports, and programs that gear our children, our future, in the right direction. CSEA would like to thank all our members, friends and family for the continued support with our fundraising efforts! Your continued patronage is what makes it successful time and time again. Statement of CSEA President Danny Donohue
