On Thursday, February 11th I was privileged to meet NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli and his birthday party and 2010 fundraiser. I was invited to the event my Jim McAsey, of CWA 1104 to speak on behalf of graduate students at Stony Brook University. The event was very crowded and filled with local politicians, their staff, regional business leaders, and organized labor union executives. Specifically, we were there to speak to the Comptroller about our experience negotiating a contract with the Research Foundation of the SUNY. He was very supportive, and I look forward to staying in touch with him and the other representatives I met that evening.
