The Citywide Division represents 11,000 members in over 160 different Civil Service titles. The members work in all Mayoral agencies, the Health and Hospital Corporation, the Board of Education and the Board of Higher Education.


Members seeking assistance from union representatives can call the Local's emergency 24-hour hotline any time, seven days a week, at (212) 924-2000.

The division holds semi-monthly meetings for members to communicate directly with Local 237 Board members and representatives. This enables our Union to address and engage any problem or issue that is of concern and importance to our members.
