Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) member, Rachel Chudoba is a single mom who juggles three jobs to make ends meet. She worries about losing health insurance for herself and her son if she is laid off from her job with the New York State Police. CSEA members working in the state's executive branch agencies aren't convinced that Governor David Paterson's proposal to lay off 8,700 workers is going to bring any savings to the state. In fact, it will likely cost the state more with lost productivity, overtime, unemployment benefits and the loss of morale the layoffs could bring to a work force that's already stretched thin.
