- Description:
- Unidentified Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) state transportation department members repairing a stretch of Interstate 87 near Albany, New York. The workers often find themselves inches from speeding traffic. This photo was used in the January, 2002, Work Force to illustrate the dangers DOT workers encounter daily. New York State Governor George Pataki had vetoed legislation for the second time that would have paid a hazardous duty differential to state Department of Transportation workers who work in or near traffic. The CSEA is New York State's largest union.

- Description:
- The Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA)'s special train-the-trainer session held recently focused on an often overlooked but critical job at road construction sites, the workers who direct traffic, or "flaggers." Road work zones are typically one of the most dangerous to work in, and flagging or directing traffic is one of the most dangerous jobs because it puts the worker on the front line of traffic flow. National statistics show that each year more than 100 workers are killed and more than 20,000 are injured in road construction sites. Randy Boylan, left, and Robert Wilson, both state Department of Transportation workers, demonstrate flagging procedures during a training sessin at CSEA's Rochester satellite office. The CSEA is New York State's largest union.
