Cover of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) monthly publication The Work Force from February 2012. Vital services on the line: Nassau County services face drastic cuts due to misguided layoffs. Nassau County recently issued layoff notices to 243 Nassau Local members; and nearly 200 more county workers were demoted several pay grades, forcing a direct impact on county residents and the services they receive. Another 114 CSEA members from 16 different departments accepted voluntary retirement packages which preserved roughly 150 jobs that otherwise would have been lost to a second round of layoffs. In this photo Nassau County Probation Officer Randy Knight holds a stack of paper work previously done by clerical staff that have been laid off. Probation workers are concerned that public safety will be compromised by the layoffs.
