Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Westchester County Unit President Jack McPhillips addressing several hundred members of Westchester County Unit 9200 who picketed outside the Westchester County Office Building in White Plains, along with CSEA's 15-foot inflatable rat, to protest the lack of progress in their contract negotiations. The rally was timed to coincide with County Executive Andy Spano's State of the County address. Westchester County Unit members have been working without a contract since Dec. 31, 2005. Sticking points in negotiations include wages and health insurance. Members sent a strong message to County Executive Spano, Deputy County Executive Larry Schwartz and members of the county Board of Legislators -- that they will not sit back and be silent while legislators are entertaining huge raises for county political appointees. The CSEA is New York State's largest union.
