Union Correction

By Rose Mary Christian

I must correct a statement I made recently to the letters of the Editor and the Batavian.

My friend asked why I’m against UNIONS. I’m NOT against unions. My daughter happens to be a CSEA member and works for the State. The AFSME union happens to represent the POLICE department. And I have always respected the men and women of the POLICE force.

IAFF happens to be the union representing the fire department but I was against the outrageous cost of overtime and that has nothing to do with the UNION.   Unions protect New York State employees, local Governments, School districts. They protect working men and women everywhere.

I apologize if what I said was taken by Union workers other than it was meant to be. As working men and women,   they  organize and represent workers.

Sorry,

Rose Mary Christian.
