Join us April 27th, 2019 at the 25th Annual MKE Golf Tournament!

The tournament is more than just tee-time, it helps keep the vision of Dorothy Bjork (Association President 1984-86) and the giving spirit of Merry Kay Ezell (former Area Director, Region Representative and namesake) going! Over the last 24 years the Annual MKE Tournament has raised more than $320,000 for the CSEA Humanitarian (Assistance) Fund – and we’re still going strong!

We’re excited to invite you to join our team – both on and off the course! The MKE Tournament primarily raises funds through the sponsorship. Tournament sponsors include our CSEA Areas, Regions, Chapters, Member Leaders, Departments, Staff, Unions and Benefit Providers. There’s no one way to sponsor, we’ve got options at all benefit levels! You’ll also find details as to how to register for the tournament. Bring a full team of your family, friends or coworkers or come solo and we’ll find a team for you!

We look forward to seeing you April 27th at the Riverlakes Golf Course in Bakersfield, CA! Attached is your 2019 MKE Tournament Invitation! If you can't make it to the tournament but would still like to our join the MKE team, please see our MKE Sponsorship Opportunities for details.

Should you have any questions, please contact Labor Relations Representative Kasey Oliver by email at: at 559-244-5331.

2018 Fresno Field Office Activist of the Year

2018 District D Retiree of the Year

Congratulations, Shirley Boyer!

Over the years Shirley has worked tirelessly to keep our Bishop Council active. Shirley’s commitment to our Retirees (and all CSEA members!) is unprecedented. Although Shirley is happily retired from her work at the District, she hasn’t retired from CSEA! Shirley sets as aside time that she could spend in leisure opting instead to put her energy and effort into Council 5047. Shirley works hard to make every member feel at home and welcome; she even handwrites post cards to add that little something special to a member’s day.

Thank you, Shirley, for all that you do!

My Supervisor wants to meet with me, what should I do now?

It's important to remember that the District isn't required to inform you of your right to union representation. It's essential that you, along with all of our Classified Employees, Know Your Rights!

I think I need representation, who should I contact?

You'll need to contact your Labor Relations Representative; we're here to help and ready to answer any questions you might have. You'll find your Labor Relations Representative, contact phone number and email listed by Employer. Find my LRR!

Can I purchase Member Benefits tickets at the Fresno Office?

Yes! Fresno is lucky to have one of the Member Benefits Service Centers located in our Field Office. You can purchase tickets in the office from 8:30AM-4:30PM. Tickets can be purchased with a major credit card, money order or a personal check from one of our CSEA members up to $150. If you're getting a money order, it's a good idea to call in ahead of time to confirm the price of the tickets since they are subject to change at any time.

You can find more information about the benefits of membership by calling 1-800-439-6626 or visiting the Member Benefits Service Centers webpage located in the same spot you found us - under Offices!

Gov. Newsom proposes record funding for schools

Gavin Newsom’s first budget blueprint shows the governor is willing to invest in education and other programs that benefit working families. Besides proposing to increase education funding for K-12 schools and community colleges to the highest levels ever, the governor’s first budget plan also aims to pay down state pension debts and free up school district funds that would otherwise go toward pension contributions.

New laws for 2019

In 2019, classified employees will have access to a significant increase in funding for training programs, expanded school safety measures and full benefits for part-time employees in merit districts and colleges.

CSEA and the community
