ALBANY—The public employees’ unions aren’t taking news that David Paterson is moving toward layoffs very well.
The presidents of CSEA and PEF said at a press conference they will file a complaint of unfair labor practice against Paterson for sending this letter to 141,00 public employees yesterday, urging them to talk to union leaders about making concessions. That unfairly cuts the union out of the bargaining process, Danny Donohue of CSEA and Ken Brynien of PEF said.
Donohue went for Paterson’s jugular.
“We’re also here to ask whether the governor understands what the term mental health means,” he said.
