CSEA Judiciary speaks at the New York State Legislature
On November 12th 2020 Scott Gartland, President of CSEA Local 333 and Diane Hansen, President of CSEA Local 330 spoke about Budget Cuts in the Judiciary Branch.
Unified Court System budget update
The unions representing UCS employees met with the Office of Court Administration this morning via Skype. With the Governor’s 10% reduction to the Unified Court System’s budget for this current fiscal year resulting in a $300 million dollar shortfall, OCA has been taking steps to make up for the shortfall and it was related today that of the $300 million shortfall, they have been successful in reducing it to $28 million. OCA had proposed several options today to the unions some of which could possibly involve workforce reductions and/or an agreement on the 2 percent salary increase and retroactive monies. We are scheduled to have a follow-up meeting with the other court unions to discuss these proposals further on Monday, October 5th. We are also scheduled to meet again with OCA in December to get further information on what the future may hold and any other progress on the shortfall. As always, CSEA is committed to the best interest of our membership and as further information becomes available, we will share it with you.
Budget Cuts
On Friday August 28th 2020, OCA had a conference call with all the unions statewide. We were informed of the fiscal constraints OCA is facing for the rest of the year. The unions were not given any hard numbers or facts, just generic comments without any specifics. CSEA and the other unions are waiting for specific information regarding budget constraints. CSEA is committed to our membership and will keep you posted as more information comes available.
