I’ve met 911 dispatchers who work for NYC, Suffolk County, and Rochester as part of my #civilservicetour. They’ve all recounted similar stories like this one, which is one major reason why we passed a law this year designating these heroes as first responders.

One of the biggest issues I heard across the state on my #CivilServiceTour was the lack of exams being offered. I'm asking the NYS Civil Service Commission to partner with SUNY campuses to offer more civil service exams so we can keep our state workforce properly staffed.
…and we’re done with the western NY leg of my #CivilServiceTour! Thank you Rochester, Buffalo, @NYSAFLCIO, @NYSPEF, @CSEALocal1000, @nysut, @AFSCMECouncil66, @NYSAFLTROC, @CWADistrict1, @CWA1133, @SBWorkersUnited, @WNYALF, @SenatorBrouk, & @SenatorCooney for your hospitality!
TY members of @NYSPEF from OPWDD, OMH, & retirees section for a productive conversation about staffing & funding issues affecting the workforce. PEF employees have lost 5K positions over last decade across the state. We NEED to reinvest in our public workforce. #CivilServiceTour
Good morning Buffalo! Next stop on my #CivilServiceTour was a breakfast conversation with Robert Mootry of @CSEALocal1000 & Peter DeJesus & Angela Blu of the @WNYALF about challenges facing our public sector workforce across state & local agencies.
First stop of the Rochester swing of my #CivilServiceTour was at the School of Inquiry w/ @SenatorBrouk! Great talks w/ staff & students. The school has multiple social workers & trusted advisors so all students get resources they need, a model we should use across the state.
Last Friday, as part of my #CivilServiceTour, I visited the Suffolk Cty Dept of Public Works & the Suffolk Police Dept HQ & 911 Call Center w/ @SuffolkAme. I love visiting w/ public servants in every corner of the state to learn about their essential work to keep govt in action.
The last stop for today on my #CivilServiceTour was Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw. Touring w/ @JamesSkoufis, we met @NYSPEF & @CSEALocal1000 staff of NY’s only public rehab hospital & talked about the need to pay public hospital employees better to improve retention.
Thank you @agounardes for visiting Westchester on your #CivilServiceTour. Great discussions today with @456Teamsters, The Town of Bedford, @YonkersFire, @YonkersUFOA, @CityofYonkers & @AndreaSCousins!
Next stop on today’s #CivilServiceTour was a visit to Yonkers Fire Department #1 with @AndreaSCousins and @ShelleyBMayer to meet with members of @YonkersFire & @YonkersUFOA. Lots of great discussions about funding essential services and ensuring a diverse department membership.
Continuing my #CivilServiceTour by visiting the Bedford Dept. of Public Works w/ @ShelleyBMayer & meeting members of @456Teamsters. These are the folks who keep Bedford’s roads & sewers running - great discussion about importance of strong pension benefits & retirement security!
Spent the afternoon with @UPOA3 as part of my #CivilServiceTour to visit the probation department & King’s County Family Court. Meeting with public servants from across the state is crucial to the work I do in Albany. Excited to keep meeting with more of these invaluable workers!
On Monday, I was in #Syracuse with Senator @RachelMayNY on my Statewide #CivilServiceTour, meeting teachers, children and WIC Clinic employees. Thanks to Senator May for hosting in the great city of Syracuse.
Loved visiting #Buffalo with @SenKennedy yesterday as part of my statewide #CivilServiceTour. We met with first responders, Transportation Authority employees, and hardworking Buffalonians from many public service professions.
