Description:
In one of the largest demonstrations ever held in a city famous for massive protests, 20,000 public employees rallied and marched on the New York State Capitol and the Governor's Mansion in Albany. Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) members came by the busload for the "Hot Day in February" rally to protest Governor Mario Cuomo's proposed state budget that called for massive cuts in jobs, aid, and services. CSEA members joined members of other public employee unions including PEF, UUP, and AFSCME Council 82. This photo was taken from the roof of CSEA headquarters at 143 Washington Avenue. The protestors are marching down Washington Avnue towards the Capitol from the Washington Avenue Armory at the corner of Lark Street where the event began with a rally inside the armory.
