Union challenge to CSEA at Rensselaer County
SEIU has started organizing against the Civil Service Employees Association for Rensselaer County workers. A June 1 rally could lead to a petition to the Public Employment Relations Board for an election between unions. SEIU accuses CSEA of two years of bungled negotiations and little wage or benefit growth. In Albany, SUNY Albany scientists urge President Emmett Fields to allow recombinant DNA research this summer. Fields will decide in early June, noting the work is less dangerous than Harvard debates but cannot placate all critics on moral grounds.
