Pataki faces protests as state workers demand fair contract
In Albany, hundreds of Civil Service Employees Association and Public Employees Federation members disrupted Gov. Pataki’s ceremony for the $82.5 million state comptroller’s office, demanding a better faith negotiation and a raise. They accuse the administration of a four-year zero raise offer, while Pataki denies offering zero and defends a fair contract. The scene coincided with AIDS activists urging more HIV research funding.
