Dear CSEA Sisters and Brothers,
I am excited and humbled to become Unit 8950's next President. I plan to stay the course Janet has set until our term is over June 30, 2021. I know many of you are concerned about COVID and coming to work. I assure you we are doing our best to make sure the county is keeping us all safe.
These are trying times and we all need to keep calm, level headed, patient and do our best every day. I urge you to call us on 845-332-5207 or 845-706-9620 if you have any concerns, questions, or just want to talk.
In conclusion, your Unit 8950 officers are here for you. Any questions or concerns you might have are important to us. We will give you honest and straightforward answers. If we do not have an answer, we will do our best to get one for you.
In solidarity,
Joseph Kirk Jones
Unit 8950 President
