Hi Everyone! It’s Teri, Your Union Secretary.

I absolutely love what I do for a living, I’m a court reporter. There are lots of fun briefs that we use that can also assist the average person in everyday note-taking ventures. It will save you tons of time and they make a weird sort of sense when you learn them, especially in groups. And they’re just plain fun!

Let’s start with a very relevant group of words that end in “ship”.

Championship – CHOIP

Membership – MOIP   

Friendship – FROIP 

Ownership – OIP 

Dealership – DOIP

Leadership – LOIP

You get the gist, right? So anything ending in “ship”, add the “OIP” to it and, voila, you have a very fast and easy way to write what is often a long, multisyllabic word.

CSEA Region 4, CSEA Local 333 along with dozens of unions throughout the State

rallied in Albany on Sunday, March 8th, to fix the broken Tier 6 pension system.

Our voices were heard by the invited speakers, including Governor Hochul, and the

feeling was everyone is on the same page to address the Tier 6 inequities. It’s up to us

as union members to keep the push on!
