steps back

attention nassau employees!

If you were ever promoted/upgraded and you were put back steps, I believe you were underpaid. If you had your promotional raise corrected by 64-01, you are still underpaid.

Did you know that some employees get put back steps pushing them farther away from top pay, while others get what is called a vertical promotion. The union and the county do this together. It is kept a secret. Do not just believe me. FOIL the county attorney for the records on promotions as far back as 1994 and 1995. You will notice that Tony Giustino managed to get himself a vertical promotion, raising his salary well over $10,000.00. This was in addition to the extra 20K he got for looking out for your best interests. I say he took care of himself. Damico makes him look like a saint. Since both are still sheltered and fed by CSEA, let the union pay their debt.

Get out your old and new salary charts and track your wage earning as if you got verticals too. It will be thousands more than you really got. Why should some get all that money and you and I get none of it?

If you do not have salary charts CSEA should give them to you.
If the county attorney delays that is illegal, if they want to charge you a quarter a page - that is legal. Print out this posting and show it to your fellow workers and chip in.

If you suffer from NEF (nassau employee fear) then get drunk and try to forget they made a schnook out of you. If you have some moxee, keep reading here and learn more and ask questions. I will try to answer them. There are things to do to correct this.

You may get to retire earlier with a bigger pension.

Dont forget. I was making $102k as Deputy treasurer, re-started with Peter schmitt at $50k and nowIm up to $100k again!

Amazing isnt it. Schmitt is equally as guilty as Judy Jacobs.

How did you do that? How long did it take to get back to where you were? Are you a nassau employee now? and lots of other questions

[McCloy and MCCoy]

YEs and yes.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

lawsuit...

Lawyers want to be paid so much that it is not worth doing alone. lawyers love this as a class action. Can you believe that some are scared. What they fail ;to realize is that as soon as a suit is filed they are protected from retaliation.

I have an attorney. Have you got the stomach to sue the boss that cheated you and took care of the boys with your true raise?

You will have to actually do some work - I will not do it all for you, and you do not want to have a lawyer rack up billable hours doing what you should and can do.

You will also have to contribute to the legal fee - now.

I know my bosses will hit the roof if I complain and I need my job.

64-01 was grievance filed by the union. I was part of that class action and was paid, IN FULL. So what are you talking about. As for Tony and Jane, I heard they pulled a bunch of deals off for themselves.

People promoted in 1999 and 2000 were left out of 64-01 by Jane and Tony. Even the arbitrator said the Union was at fault for not including them. If you were promoted in 2000 and your pal was promoted after you in 2001 because they scored lower on test...then they are making 1000s of dollars more than you. 64-01 fixed them...not you.

dont waste your time or money,

SUE THE UNION

Check with your lawyer on this. If you are a named plaintif in a law suit against your employer and have been "in good standing" for years, any adverse action can and will be construed as retaliation. That blows the area of damages wide open and you could sue for millions.

I know someone who was fired like this. His suit against the county is around $70,000,000. I think his lawyer is very good. When this one was filed, I think the county attorney woke up and they now know that they are not beyond the law and I get the sense on the job that management has been instructed to be careful not to upset any plaintifs lest the county's legal exposure become outrageous. In other words, once you file, you have a high level of safety.

Again, check with your lawyer. You need to have a case a good lawyer will take and that, in and of itself, helps you.

Past CSEA presidents and all other current union presidents in Nassau are bought off by Suozzi. Plain and simple , its cheaper to pay off a few and save millions on the backs of county workers. Its been the modus operandi of politicians and unions since the 60's and its the reason we're all in this position. The only reason Delaraba gets away with it is he delivers on contracts. The others take the bene's and go on their merry way.

Any employee, including 64=01's who got a settlement who was promoted and put back ANY steps has a gripe since others were not (MEN). In addition, the set rate of interest on old debts in a federal court is 9%. You may have gotten a check but you were screwed - if you were put back 2 steps, they owe you the same amount again PLUS 9% per year on the whole thing.

Anyone get everything you are owed yet?

PCO's how is your suit in Brooklyn Federal going - any money showing yet?

How far back does this suit go? I was put back two steps in '86 and two more in '89.

64-01 was a win for the union. Since the county is taking so long to pay of the union has gone back to court to issue a compel order. As for those left out in 1999 that case was won by the union and Stober is waiting for the list and the oney to pay them as well. The total award will be over $7million dollars when they finally pay it out. Other than waiting way too long for the county to pay, I'd say csea did all it could.
