We are a local of CSEA Inc. CSEA Inc is the local 1000 of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees which is a very powerful union under AFL-CIO. The CSEA is proud that we are a grassroots union where the members themselves elect their officers, and where only members can serve on negotiating teams and vote to ratify contracts.

Our Local 844 President Fritz Ernest

We are Rockland County CSEA Local 844. On behalf of myself and the Local Officers we welcome you to our website. With the coming of our newly elected term we all look forward to better things to come for our Local. We will continue to band together in solidarity to make our Local stronger so we may have the power to negotiate with our employers. If you have questions or suggestions please feel free to contact our office.
