CSEA Members Deserve Better than Gov. Paterson's Incompetence

ALBANY, NY (04/08/2010)(readMedia)-- CSEA President Danny Donohue has just issued the following statement:

"Gov. David Paterson's unilateral delay of a fairly negotiated raise for CSEA represented state employees is wrong and the governor knows it. It will leave CSEA with little choice in our course of action moving forward.

"What makes it even worse is that the governor met with CSEA and PEF officials yesterday and has now immediately moved forward.

"The Paterson administration continues to careen from crisis to crisis without any comprehensive plan to address the state's financial mess with a coordinated strategy. It is more evidence of his administration's incompetence.

"CSEA members continue to do their best to serve the people of New York under deteriorating conditions and they deserve better than what the governor is putting forward."
