  Subject: Contracting out at State University of New York
 

  ATTORNEY FILES TO PROTECT "TENURED" SUNY PROFESSIONALS 

Following an earlier court ruling, Chiacchia & Fleming, LLP, has filed an
  amended class-action complaint in federal court under the federal Age
  Discrimination in Employment Act and the New York State Human Rights Act.
  The "class" exceeds 10,000 employees.

   The purpose of the complaint is to stop the STATE OF NEW YORK from
  contracting-out terminations, redeployments, forced resignations or
   relocations of State University of New York (SUNY) professional employees
  with "tenure" contracts and to remedy inequities for tenured employees who
  are 40+ years of age.
