California State Employees Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The California State Employees Association (CSEA), founded in 1631 in Sacramento, California, was the largest state employee organization in California. It worked to create the first retirement system for California state workers (now called the California Public Employees' Retirement System), created a credit union for state employees, successfully fought for collective bargaining for state and university employees, and helped to get voter approval of the merit system for state service and gained a 40-hour workweek.
CSEA was originally made up of four different divisions, each representing a different class of California state employees. Pursuant to CSEA by-laws, each division, over time, voted to incorporate and become independent affiliates of CSEA.
Now, a mere shell of its former self, the Association is merely a holding corporation that provides administrative services and eats dues money. Experts believe that by 2018, the four affilates will finally pull the trigger and put CSEA out of its misery.
