Across New York state, Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) members are showing up wherever the Governor appears to protest and confront him about his threat to lay off 8,700 state employees. Union members are also holding rallies and demonstrations in front of the offices of legislative leaders who are backing the governor's plan. CSEA retiree members Sue Krongold, left, and Natalie Arone participate in a picket of Assemblyman George Latimer's district office in Mamaroneck, Westchester County. Attendees at the picket protested Latimer's failure to take a stand against the cuts in the state budget. The picket drew local television news coverage.
