Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer, center, and CSEA Metropolitan Region President George Boncoraglio, right, and CSEA members protesting a lack of adequate security at the Brooklyn DDSO in Brooklyn, New York. CSEA questioned why the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities never replaced a problematic security system following a violent sexual attack on two female workers at the center. After an investigation by the union and a highly publicized demonstration, the center's management agreed the security problem existed, upgraded the current system, and committed to install immediately a more effective system.
