 The Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., or CSEA, is the largest public employees' union in New York State with over 260,000 members. CSEA began in Albany, New York, in the year 1910 as a collective effort by a handful of state employees to get better wages and working conditions. Originally known as the Association of State Civil Service Employees, the organization took on its current name in November 1946. Within twenty years, from 1920 to 1940, the organization grew from a handful of workers to a membership of over 600. This increase in membership was due largely to the admittance of non-competitive class civil service employees.
By 1947 another class of state employees, local government workers, was admitted to the organization with
the issuance of a charter to Westchester County employees. Ever-increasing membership prompted the
CSEA's leadership to make their union a more formal organization. CSEA set out to do this by purchasing its
first building in 1947. Along with the procurement of an organizational headquarters and the statewide
issuance of charters, CSEA also published a constitution.
CSEA's commitment to its members encouraged other state employees to join the union. CSEA's
membership had grown to over 40,000 by the year 1948. While other labor organizations were folding in
times of economic hardship CSEA's membership remained active. By the 1960's the organization had
become so large in number and so effective that its endorsement became much sought after in the
New York State political arena.
The CSEA Orange County Unit 7900/7902 was formed in 1976 and now consists over 2,100 Orange County
Government Employees and SUNY-Orange Employees.
