The Middle Country School District Transportation Department will be hosting a Pasta Night Fundraiser in an effort to raise needed funds for the Wexler Family. Kathy has been a bus driver for 20 years and her husband Mark has been diagnosed with a Malignant Inoperable Brian Tumor. The road ahead of them is going to be rough and expensive. We would like to “Pay it Forward” to this amazing family that needs our support.
THANK YOU !!

A FREE BENEFIT FOR LOCAL 870 MEMBERS
HUGE WIN for Our Members
In 2012, the State Department of Civil Service issued Policy Memos 122r2 and 122r3 which only allowed a health insurance buyout to be paid by a New York State Health Insurance Program (“NYSHIP”) participating agency/employer if the employee proved they had coverage other than through NYSHIP.
According to the Department of Civil Service, Memorandum 122r3 was to be followed regardless of what may have been agreed to in collective bargaining agreements. This prohibition impacted mostly Long Island Region 1 and Southern Region 3, but the ruling will affect all NYSHIP participating agencies/employers throughout New York State.
After years of litigation, The Court of Appeals, New York’s highest court, has rejected the State’s final appeal.
To the extent the buyout programs were suspended, they should be put back in force.
This is a huge win for CSEA members as this decision preserves the right to collectively bargain the terms and conditions of health insurance buyouts.
