Covering State Employees working for OPWDD and Western NY Childrens Psychiatric Center (WNYCPC) in the Western New York seven counties.

Stay Up-To-Date

Legislation to keep the Western New York Children’s Psychiatric Center (WNYCPC) open has passed both houses in Albany.  Throughout our fight to keep the center in West Seneca, we have asked the Office of Mental Health to provide a clinical reason for merging this facility with the Buffalo Psychiatric Center.

To date, no one has been able to explain how such a move would benefit the children treated there.  This center is rated among the best in the nation and the idea of merging it with an adult facility in an urban setting is not fair to the children and families who need our care and support.

CSEA President Danny Donohue Says Supreme Court Caved to Greedy Corporate CEOs and the Wealthy

ALBANY, N.Y. – Civil Service Employees Association President Danny Donohue responded to today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 case with the following statement:

“It’s outrageous that the Supreme Court caved to greedy corporate CEOs and the wealthy instead of supporting the rights of hardworking Americans.

Let me be clear. This case wasn’t about fairness or even free speech. It was just another scheme for the rich to get richer by destroying unions and silencing working people. I can tell you right now it’s not going to work.

Our members won’t be fooled into giving up everything unions have fought so hard for.

Workers in New York, the most unionized state in the country, know the value strong unions provide workers, families and communities. Our members will stick with our union because unions help workers get better wages and health benefits, improve workplace safety, and protect their pensions.

CSEA has been around for more than a hundred years and we’re not going anywhere. Stay Union. Stay Strong!

Below is the Supreme Courts Ruling
