Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) members of the Town of Newburgh, NY Unit in Orange County, joined by members of the nearby New Windsor Unit, demonstrate October 21 outside the grand reopening of the town's Chadwick Lake Park, where Newburgh Unit members completed many improvements. Unit members have worked three years without a contract and negotiations are in the fact-finding stage. Sticking points include wages, health insurance, and a town proposal to make staffing cuts to sanding trucks during snowstorms, a move CSEA members have protested for safety concerns. CSEA members also demonstrated against Town Board members voting themselves raises throughout the three years the CSEA agreement has been expired while the union members have had no resolution.
