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. Rochester State Employees President Doris Cota, Western Region Political Action Committee Chairman Tim Finnigan and Western Region President Flo Tripi take part in a picket outside Assemblyman Joe Morelle's Irondequoit office Wednesday morning. CSEA delivered a message that mass state layoffs will put lives at risk and jeopardize services in the state. The union has provided lawmakers with several others proposals that would close the budget gap.
