Sisters and Brothers,

I am pleased to advise that we have reached an agreement with the State to provide Paid Parental Leave for all eligible state members.

Employees may take leave with pay for up to 12 weeks for the birth of a child or placement of a child for adoption or foster care. Paid Parental Leave is available for use once every 12-month period. All employees who work full-time or who work at least 50% part-time are eligible for this benefit.

The benefit is retroactive to April 2, 2023. For more details, please see the complete agreement at https://tinyurl.com/nys-csea-ppl-2023.

This agreement recognizes that anyone who has the opportunity to become a parent either through childbirth, adoption or fostering should be allowed to spend the time to strengthen parental-child bonds without worrying about the economic impact of being on unpaid leave. Paid Parental Leave will be another great benefit for our union members across New York State.

If you have any questions, please contact your Local leadership or the CSEA State Operations Department.

In Solidarity,

Mary

THE 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE..

1. The Leaf people
2. The Branch people
3. The Root people

LEAF PEOPLE:
These are people who come into your life just for a season. You can't depend on them because they are weak. They only come to take what they want, but if the wind comes they will leave.
You need to be careful of these people because they love you when things are okay, but when the wind comes they will leave you 🤗

BRANCH PEOPLE:
They are strong, but you need to be careful with them too. They break away when life becomes tough and they can't handle too much weight. They may stay with you in some seasons, but they will go when it becomes harder ✊🏾

ROOT PEOPLE: These people are very important because they don't do things to be seen. They are supportive even if you go through a difficult time they will water you and they are not moved by your position they just love you like that .💪🏾

It's not all people you meet or are your friends, that will stay with you.
Only the root type of people will stay no matter the season

I saw this and thought it needed to be shared
