CSEA in the 1950s -- Happy Labor History Month! In 1958-59, CSEA helped establish the “Classified Bill of Rights.” These new laws included the 40-hour week, sick leave, vacation and bereavement leave and laws prohibiting age discrimination. Thanks to CSEA, classified employees, who had long considered themselves partners in education, were finally getting some of the recognition they deserved. 📷 Annual Conferences group from the 1950s.
