The cost for the VOICE Union that I'm in is VERY reasonable. It's just $54 for the year. With that, I can get a reduced rate liability insurance. There are also other options that I can get through them like life insurance, health insurance, but I don't need.
Also, we meet about once a month (or more frequently if a problem were to arise) to find out OUR issues, come up with action plans, and follow through. We have had some summits, with another one coming up in April, and have had major break throughs. Like when NYS first came out with MAT training, VOICE got them to hold off for a number of months before instating it and got the State to issue funding for it. There is so much more as well.
If you guys have more specific questions, you can contact Ed Gresco at VOICE (CSEA) at gresco@cseainc.org. He's a great guy who's been on both sides of the fence as well.
