PEF MEMBERS PACK STATE CAPITOL, DEMAND FAIR CONTRACT NOW!
More than 20,000 PEF, CSEA and other union members from
around the state converged on the State Capitol in Albany this
afternoon, to tell Gov. Pataki directly, they want a fair contract
and they want it NOW.
The members turned out in record numbers, despite the last-minute
attempts by the Pataki Administration to cancel the rally permit,
despite the bitter cold and despite the presence of hundreds of state
police officers and Albany police officers in riot gear.
The busloads of union members from every corner of the state were
respectful but loud as they chanted, blew whistles and yelled with
one voice, "You got yours, we want ours," to be sure the
governor could hear their call for a fair deal.
