Your Region Labor Education Specialist

Let's face it. Union involvement can be complicated. There are many things for our activists and officers to learn about the union and the rules we operate under. Because we're always looking to get members involved in the union, we're also dedicated to constantly providing training to those new activists, as well as our seasoned pros, to make sure that they have the best skills and most current knowledge available to best represent our members.

That's where CSEA's Education and Training Department comes in handy. CSEA has a staff of highly skilled trainers, called Labor Education Specialists, who come out to the regions, often directly to the work site, and provide training to our leaders, activists, and even rank-and-file members. Typical topics can include (but are not limited to): Steward Training, Grievance Representative Training, Officer Training, Labor-Management Committee Training, Contract Negotiations Training and many more programs.
