Stony Brook University on Thursday locked out a group of high-profile Long Islanders and a local union from a meeting they had scheduled on campus to discuss a contract being negotiated with the SUNY Research Foundation.
The Communications Workers of America local 1104 was scheduled to present its views regarding a stalled contract for SUNY Research Foundation research assistants to a panel of Long Island leaders. The panelists were organized by the Workers’ Rights Board, a project of the nonprofit Long Island Jobs With Justice.
The panel included Suffolk County Legislator Jon Cooper, Father Bill Brisotti of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Church in Wyandanch, Victor Fusco of law firm Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada and economist Michael Crowell of the New York State Department of Labor.
