@nyspef.bsky.socialPEF VP Bruce Giddings & R8 8 Coordinator Danielle Bridger attended an event announcing a bridge on Route 2 in Petersburg (Rensselaer County) will soon be named in honor of @nysdot-nyc.bsky.social Highway Maintenance Supervisor Robert Bornt, who was killed in a work zone crash in May 2025.
@nyspef.bsky.social🚧 Big win for DOT members! Thanks to this tentative agreement, members who work hard to keep New York's roads and highways safe will see their SAD Pay increase from $750 to $1000. That's real recognition for the dedicated workers who put their safety on the line every day to keep New Yorkers moving.
@nyspef.bsky.socialPEF VP Bruce Giddings led a group of members in solidarity at a rally outside Forts Ferry Farm, owned by the Hearst family, which owns the Albany Times Union, where members of the @albanyguild.bsky.social have been working without a contract for 17 YEARS! #UnionStrong
