Labor Lines

Public employees have lately been targeted by much anti-labor rhetoric.  The NYS Public Employees Federation is pushing back, demonstrating how they, rather than politicians, are truly acting in the public interest. Next, we show how a group called “Represent.US” is shining a spotlight on the ugliness of the corporate politics that has diminished the influence of the “citizen lobbyist”.  They suggest methods to rid corruption from our politics.   NYS Public Employee Federation Defends the Public Interest   All unions are victim to anti-labor spin, yet public employees seem to be the target of particular venom lately. The executive committee of the NYS Public Employee Federation (PEF) meet with members throughout the state regularly, and at the same time reach out to civic and community groups. As part of their outreach, they visit Labor Lines for a lively discussion covering the intricacies of the public employee conflict with our elected officials. Susan Kent, Pres
